The following arctic air is frigid, pipe-freezing cold. Let the furnace cycle once or twice if the wood stove is burning so that the basement gets some heat.

Next 6 nights/days here are forecast to have wind chills ranging from -5 to -30F. That’s pretty cold for Kansas. The Switzer will be put to good use. Osage orange heat. 👍🏾
That's cold for up here, we've usually had single to double digit minus temps already but nothing yet. I hope we get some snow because if we don't, the frost will just get deeper than usual.
Winter is finally making an appearance in Alberta and MT as well. If you want to feel warmer where you are, go to the NWS and pull up the forecast for say Cut Bank MT. High tomorrow -21, with gusts to 22 mph. Forecast discussion is allowing the possibility of lows exceeding -50. It's a dry cold!

It’s nice and sunny here today. Just below freezing right now.
They’re calling for wind gusts up to 60 mph this weekend. And then lows to drop into the single digits by next weekend.
Oh and possible lake effect snow this weekend too. Should be fun. Hopefully the last wind storm blew down all the weak trees already

They are calling for gusts to 90mph. As a bike rider I would say solidly over 80 right now.

Just hoping it gets the worst out of the way before dark.
Hope this gets resolved quickly. We have friends living in a yurt that just had their well go down yesterday. The creek is frozen. I guess the only saving grace is their outhouse doesn't freeze up, but negaive temps give new meaning to first contact.

Man I remember tongues and frozen flagpoles. Sub zero outhouse? Yeah no thank you.
Depending on the outhouse, the seat can be removed and kept warm until needed. But if they have an outhouse, they know this already! Lol
I'm sure they are getting creative. They sell dense styrofoam seats for winter in AK.
Currently partly sunny and 16 dF here, with a light powdering of snow on the ground from yesterday. NOAA predicts daytime temps around 22 dF / overnight temps around 12 dF for the next couple of nights, and then warming all the way up to 32 dF day / 20 dF overnight by Monday. Wind a bit below 10 mph.
Unusually cold for the PNW, although we had similar temps (and more snow) in December 2022.
Turned the stove up to 50% air yesterday, and needed 8 hour reloads for the first time. Indoors stayed around 70 dF.

Graph from my personal weather station. We were drifted in a big share of the day again. County isn’t allowing their grader operators to run the gravel roads, for some reason. My brother-in-law came and cleared our road with his 4 wheel drive tractor and blade around noon, then I ran it once later with my 1650. This snow came originally on top of mud, so that is still under it where it hasn’t been cleared. They’ve buried several road graders and had to pull them out with dozers.

I realized after I posted that the first graph was in Celsius. (My wife is a Canadian, so I had it set that way for her.) Here it is in Farenheit.
Great fans, I was glad when the Atlanta Thrashers became the Winnipeg Jets. Atlanta never supports their NHL teams.
