Hope everyone can stay reasonably war this coming week with the predicted cold temps. I see parts of MN will be -30 actual temp with much colder wind chill. Yikes!

Well, we're sure trying to keep warm! It was -14 air temp when I woke up today, and has climbed all the way up to +6.

We're supposed to get to about -22 degrees here in Iowa City this coming week, with a wind chill pushing 40-50 below.
We've sandwiched several snow storms-- we're getting 3-4 more inches tonight-- between our polar vortex temps-- it was about 15 below earlier this week. We have about 10 inches of snow on the ground right now.
I chuckle when I remember the Iowa state climatologist saying in early December that we were going to have a "mild" winter.
I feel for you guys. It was so warm and sunny here today (low 70s) that I was able to take a short ride on the Harley in a t-shirt. I was wearing long pants, though, unlike John M.

I feel for you guys too. Here in south Florida is was a bit chilly at 54 this morning but no complaints from me.
The coldest I’ve experienced was in 1968 while in the Air Force. I spent a year at Sondrestrom Air Base, Greenland where for a couple days it was -42F (wind chill -77). During winter all vehicles were left running over night AND plugged in to a hitching post for a heater to keep the engine block warm.
