It was 6 in my area today and I found out that with the wind factor -25 to -35 below zero.  Tomorrow is a heat wave in the 20's and over the weekend one day will be 30 but then back to the teens on Monday.  Now it feels like winter.  This is the first cold and one with lots of snow winters we have had in a very long time.  This is for the Chicago area and suburbs.    P.S.  When you all talk your weather, please let us know the area you live in.

Today weatherman says 60 MPH WINDS! So much for going for a walk.

It's very cold today.  But temps are supposed to moderate starting Saturday for most of the country.  We'll be 60 by Sunday.  This artic blast was not supposed to linger.  Those winds are moving fast.

I bought my house brand new 15 years ago. I only used the heater a couple of times a year --- and then it went out. I called a heating company and they climbed into the attic to check the furnace --- and it needed a "mother-board". I told them to disconnect it. So - I don't have heat. This would have been a time to use it.

So glad the rain picked up last night --- I shut my sprinklers. Yes --- definitely needed.

We've been having, for the first time ever, temps in the 40s and 50s in December (!) and rain.  

We did get a bit of snow a little while ago, but it has since broken up.

I never thought I'd see the day of having rain in December.     Over all the decades I've lived here it has always been too cold in Dec for rain.  But over the past 10 years or so we get less and less winter.  Makes me sad.

Been that way as far back as I can remember here in Nebraska. Dropping 40° in an hour is not that uncommon. Nothing "strange" here in our little part of our big country.

Well it was 65° & humid with rain yesterday. Today it's 21° & feels like 4°. By the time we wake up in the morning it will be 4° & feel like -11°. It's trying to snow now with it moving in this afternoon.

We had about 3 inches of snow last night and are expecting sleet today. I'd rather stick with the snow. Our temps can drop really fast too
