QuoteA prolonged period of very cold wind chills continues.

Bitterly cold arctic air combined with strong westerly winds have resulted in wind chill values near minus 35 tonight.

The cold air will remain in place Thursday. Conditions should improve Friday as milder air moves into the region.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

Today we're getting some of the Polar Vortex affect. It was single digits or below over night, and has been in the teens and windy all day. But probably just for a day, maybe two and still not nearly as bad as the worst in the Mid West.

It's warming back up here, but yesterday driving home my car's engine temp was actually dropping as the car was running. :wacko:

Decided to have a 'snow day' here today, first ever I think. 

Didn't do much work, but completed a fair few chores and ended up doing a lot of walking in the snow to complete some of them.  :bowler:
