Somewhat Important Note:

Due to the popularity of the blog, I receive numerous Facebook requests before potential snowstorms. Although I am flattered that you want to follow me on Facebook, I would ask that you not friend request me unless you know me in real life. It's nothing personal, I've just decided I don't want too many friends on Facebook.

Thanks, John

Hmm...

Well, there is a distinct possibility that temperatures tonight might not get down as low as previously thought. The National Weather Service is now saying low temperatures tonight will only get down to around, say, -2, as opposed to numbers like -10 that were being thrown around earlier (admittedly by myself as well). Temperatures that low will have to wait until Thursday Night.

However, I still expect a "cold day" tomorrow. For one thing, I feel that the National Weather Service is underestimating the low temperatures. It's already down to around 9 degrees here, and the fact that there are no clouds in the sky will allow much more cooling to occur overnight. I expect lows to be a little below -5 tomorrow morning, which should be enough for a "cold day".

Beyond tonight, expect 1-2" of snow tomorrow as a low pressure system passes to our south. Tomorrow night, expect winds of 10-15 mph to combine with below zero temperatures to produce wind chills of -20 degrees, which will likely necessitate a wind chill advisory.

Thursday night, the core of the cold air will be over us. Lows will drop well below -5, and even though there won't be much wind, wind chills will probably still be around -15 or -20 degrees.
