Very cold here, OS! 15 F, but 90% humidity. 5-8" on way overnight, with a low to.orrow night of 3.

Normal winter weather for many places, but nothing is built for it here.

Total forecast snow this coming week (thus far) ~20".

Stay warm & safe, everyone!

That's COLD!

I have a question from the warmer climes of the west coast. What do Nebraskans (my husband's family came from Nebraska) do when it's 30 below and they have a dog that needs to go out and do its business?

Stay inside and warm Steve!

They take care of business in a hurry. And rush back in. Cold snow hurts their feet a bit.

7:00 a.m., 74 degrees but breezy. Thinking about putting on a T-shirt. Can't say I miss winter weather in the least. On the plus side, I suppose it makes social distancing easier.

...Steve, you are not alone....Yes, I have seen much worse....Once when I was a lot younger...
the temperature was a -13 below zero..& in my stupidity and my youth, I decided to go out and
jog a mile, yes indeed..
...Also, it had just snowed and there was 12 to 14 inches of fresh snow...And out I went..I think I walked the whole way, because it was slippery ...you know..............................................
..............................I recall coming back to where I lived and listening to the radio, the news fellow said the wind chill was -80 below zero. Lots of wind on that day.........................??

....I am indeed lucky to tell this story...I was so ...STUPID AND MORE STUPID...AND MORE STUPID!!.

....................1977 OR 1979...not sure......but I am smarter now....I am NOT going out even in...
........1 degree above zero...
....................Those days are long gone...................

time to hide................... ... ... ....

I'm at -1 right now... but only going to -4 tonight and warming up to 25 tomorrow!!!

Not sure how cold it got last night, but I'm impressed that my furnace kept up!! I usually turn my thermostat down 5 or 6 degrees at night, but last night I didn't 'cause I was afraid the furnace wouldn't be able to catch back up!

Bundle up!

But 100 miles north in Portland it’s a mess, an ice storm has closed a lot of roads, brought down trees and power lines.
