At 6:56 am here in West Texas, the current temperature is 8, but the wind chill feels like -13. Brrr! Currently the wind is from the N at 25 mph. We are under a Wind Chill Advisory.

Ours comes tonight in North Georgia.  38 now and gloomy (as it just about every day). High of 48 today and a low of 14 tonight. High tomorrow is expected to be 20.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Look at this temperature drop. Note the short amount of time, 30 minutes,  it took to get to the lower temp.

Shiver me timbers!   Our torrential rain and wind starts today continuing to tomorrow when the freakishly warm temperature of low fifties drop to single digits and then below freezing.  I am grateful that we will have mostly rain, with snow and ice at the back end of the storm.  Whatever is wet from all the rain will flash freeze to ice.

 

Stay warm and safe everyone!

@gidgetgh I've been here 20 years now and I don't think I've ever seen the temps go this low in GA. And I agree. I miss our sun!

 

I've already had to have a conversation with my coworkers who think they have no preparations to make with freezing temperatures. Brought them up to speed on turning off their water unless they want a free ice sculpture at some point in their house or business.

Don't forget about the animals, birds.

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

@Laura14  January, 1985, -5 degrees here on day. It was so cold.  And if I remember correctly, there was some snow on the ground....maybe.  I remember a co-worker had to come get me because my car wouldn't make it up the slight hill to get out.

 

I out covers on my 2 outside faucets a few days ago.  The water supply to those has always been turned off because I have never used them.  Stay warm!
