Re: the temperature map

Pretty sure those are WIND CHILL “feels like” temperatures, not actual air temperatures.

Here in southern Wisconsin it is currently -9 degrees with 25mph winds resulting in about a -30 Wind Chill Factor. Snow ended by sunset today.
Having plowed the driveway once today (a quarter mile long country driveway), I will plow again tomorrow after the wind fills the driveway back in with blowing snow.

Winter of 2018 we had actual air temperatures in the -30 range. That was brutal cold.

This winter we’ve had -10 to -15 already, so the freak out on -9 by the local media is silly.

Stay warm Frens!

Oh sorry, perhaps that map WAS actual temps from all recorded temps in the history of recorded temps.

I first read it as Record Temps for THIS weather event.

I will now duck, to avoid thrown fruit, and slink off to bed!
