The weather prognosticators have changed tomorrow night's low from -28º to -31º. The old all time low was -27º, set January 10, 1982.

Right now it's minus 27 at 7pm heading down to 35 below up here near Duluth, Mn.. The wind has been blowing hard all day driving the wind chill into the 50 below range. The actual temp tomorrow night, according to the weather guessers, could break the all time 60 below. I remember the day the last record was broken. We had 50 something below at my house and just north of us was the record breaking official 60. There are some low areas that were colder. I don't want to do that again. The air hurts. When it is below zero and you live somewhere that doesn't usually get that cold and your car windows are frosted over, don't do like some visitors or newcomers have tried to clear off the windows thinking they have figured out a easy way to not have to scrape the frost, and pour warm water on the windshield. The glass shatters instantly. It's like a grown up stick your tongue on a flag pole thing. Don't do that either. Stay warm and be safe all you who are is this polar vortex area.____Dave

Get a rope on that stuff and tie it down! Don’t want any of it. 42 degrees here this morning is plenty cold for this ol’ Texas boy. ::sotb::

35 Celsius here in my part of the big brown land called Australia - about 95 fahrenheit
I cannot imagine the minus 27's / 28's that you are talking about.

Looks like "The Weather Putzs" were spot on with their guess.. ::smirk:: Less than inch it was and I measure 3 1/2 here.. ::facepalm:: Dead on I would say.. ::disgust:: Off to round 2 of the snow removal of "Less than an inch" .. ::disgust::

Uh-oh - they just shutdown the 101 freeway through Santa Barbara/Montecito at exactly the same place it flooded last year. It isn't exactly the same issue, there hasn't been mudslides on the hillside, this flooding is being caused by a creek overflowing and sending mud and debris across the freeway.

It rained all night and continues to rain, I'm not sure how much has fallen.

Zero degrees here today with snow and the winds are expected to pick up to 35-40mph this afternoon and tonight. All the schools are closed all around this area. Not fit outside for man nor beast. Now back to my decoy carving, indoors.

Record high temps yesterday at 91º and the earliest that temp has ever occured in the Austin weather service area. :shock: The records date back to the late 1800s.

I ran to town to get parts for my Avalanche snow rake and some groceries and drove home in near white-out. I do believe we just passed the all time recorded snow fall amounts for February. It has to be close to the coldest one too. March is our snowiest month and if this keeps piling up and melts fast in the Spring, the folks along the Mississippi are going to have a rough Spring ahead.____Dave

3" of snow so far - drive home was brutal ... plowing was ineffective & apparently, every business in NJ let all their employees leave for the day after lunch - volume was unbelievable ... pretty much survival of the fittest out there on Interstate 80.

Soo.. This is the ultimate guess.. 1 to 12in of snow between Sunday and Monday AM.. WOW!! I am thinking "The Weather Guessers" are covering all bases after the last Snowmeggedon guess where we ended up with 2-3in after pounding us all week with breaking news about the coming snow!!! ::disgust::

February was quite the month in Montana, many places set a Feb. record for snow and cold. 3 feet of snow here and sub zero temps, being in March my main worry is when the snow starts to melt. Code around here should support 40 pounds per square foot, our roof can support a little more, but it still has me concerned. Fighting ice dams too. Makes for a nice spring and summer though, with our natural spring running full and not having to worry as much about fire season.

Kris, we had the same conditions this February with record snow(also over 3 feet) and record cold. Our problem is that March is usually our "snow" month. We probably won't see much thaw until mid April, and if it comes suddenly, both directions from here will have flooding. We are on the continental divide. Mostly the Mississippi will cause problems, but people North of us get nailed sometimes. In a way, it's nice for us to be on the top of the hill. We haven't seen anything above freezing for 50 some days and don't expect any for at least another week ____Dave

Wow, Dave, what an epic winter. I have been following your comments on how your winter is going, as we started off mild and I was washing the car in Jan. in 51F. -20 this morning with dangerous wind chill, -40 for tomorrow morning with deadly wind chill, hard on the hogs. Stay warm!
