It's 37 and raining here, with temperatures expected to drop in the next few hours, causing an icy mess.

We're waiting on my stepdaughters father to show up so we can do some last minute running around. There's no beating the chaos, but hopefully be home before the weather changes for the worse!

At 938 am, it's 0° but, the wind chill puts it at -23°
They weren't too far off, but the temp will keep falling.
Man, it came roaring in at 3am here
Supposed to get to -35° w/the wind chill -the winds here will be 20-30mph w/gusts up to 60mph - hence the the dang -35° crap
Rick, just get whatever ya need done, done 😃
The wind is just what's so dang bad

He is in the Mountains so yeah it can get that cold for sure.

It's in the high 30's low 40's here in Raleigh today.

Supposed to drop down into the low teens later on today though.

Yeah, Jim is right, but I'm not in Asheville. Haven't been there in years. I need to change that.
I'm a lot higher elevation than Asheville now..
I'm in the highest living elevations east of the Mississippi- the coldest I ever saw it here was -25° without any windchill in I believe it was 1985
It was -32° on Grandfather Mtn that night too - can't remember how cold it got on Mt.Mitchelk though

64F degrees here right now, but will drop to 28 or so tonight with windchill to 20F degrees. The locals are used to much higher temps, so while it sounds funny to people used to living with truly cold winters, this is actually dangerously cold down here.

I might actually have to change from shorts to pants!

I know, right? If it gets any colder, I'll have to put on clothes before going out to feed the dogs and chickens. Last week I was in Vegas riding; daytime temps were in the 30's and 40's. Harsh stuff.

We're down to 28 degrees and snow/sleet. Our area has a power outage going on for around 1,500 people. Good thing we have a wood stove!!

By tonight we may have 50 mph winds and -20 degree wind chill!! Really hoping this power comes back on for a majority of the day

It’s high 50’s, nearly 60° F but raining here today :grin-squint

I’d prefer the arctic blast… I just want to do some ice fishing!!!

Also, it would’ve been nice if all this rain was snow because it would have made for a festive white Christmas.

I have nothing to complain about. It's only been getting down to somewhere in the 40s at night. But during the daytime, the inside of my house stays colder than the outside. And in the summer, the inside of my house stays hotter than the outside.

I don't have AC, so when I'm not active, I wear lairs of clothing. It's nowhere near as cold as other places (including elsewhere in CA), but it can get cold for here.

Heck, it was 3°F here this morning and the windchill was only -16°F. I guess the worst is over, it was -8°F with wind chill at -63°F at the same time yesterday.

20° at my house in Galveston this morning, a few blocks from the beach. Pretty unusual for down here. Many winters it doesn't even freeze.
