It’s the Day after Tomorrow in the Midwest

We are usually pretty blasé about winter weather here in Chicagoland ....but this is something else..already
45below wind chills in the western burbs.......hows it by you??

Southeast Michigan here. A balmy -8 actual temp. No complaints though. Like someone said elsewhere, we need a really cold spell to kill off many of the pesky insects. And, it's actually warm in my office at work. So no big deal here. I am, however, mindful that some have lost their furnace at this time and don't have the money to replace it. I heard they were trying to help someone in that state on the radio this morning. Count your blessings if you're warm this morning!

Wow! I'm roughly at the same latitude and slightly higher altitude and here it rarely goes a few °C below 0.
Probably we have to thank Mediterranean Sea and Gulf Stream.

I was at the Chicago Theatre on Saturday Night to see Tedeschi/Trucks, thankfully the AT-AT had already been tipped over by Spidey.

Blistering 1 degree here is sunny Ohio.

Another good day to be in Texas.

And to think the Netherlands is in full panic mode for a couple of centimeters of snow.

Another good day to be in Texas.

Considering how hot it gets in the summer I reckon that winter is the only good time to be in Texas.

The view outside my window now...steam is being generated on Lake Michigan from the extreme conditions.......never seen that here before.

Can’t let a few 100+ days get to you, that’s why we have a couple of hundred miles of beaches!

Shouldn't you be in Miami Beach this time of year??

yes. but life interferes....figured trying to fly out of town may be more treacherous than hunkering down in my warm condo for a couple more days.

Man, it’s brutal here in TX. Only supposed to be 55 degrees today.

That’s pretty brutal. I was in the west loop (Jefferson and Adams) before Osama made us go to Texas. Has the city done anything for the homeless that live by the steam vents on lower wacker? The other place I called home for many years (Melbourne Australia ) is experiencing record highs (47c)... seems there might be some truth to the gulf stream slowing down. Not good.
