We are balmy by comparison, but, it’s a weird forecast:

26 deg. F now (9 pm reading)

Low tonight (~ 6 am): 26 deg F

High tomorrow: 26 deg. F

I looked at the graphs, and, yeah, we basically just flatline, which usually only happens with snow when it is just cold enough to snow. There’s no precip. in our forecast until next Wednesday, tho’.

-7 when I got up at 6am. Quite windy, so dangerous wind-chills of -25! The birds at the feeders are all 'puffed up' against the cold. I re-filled everything right away; they'll need the calories today, for sure!

27 local closings, warming shelters are open. Warming UP to ZERO by the end of the day. We haven't had cold like this for quite a while, but it's a pretty big cold front moving through if you look at any weather maps. They're predicting -10 for Friday overnight into Saturday.

I'm not going anywhere for the foreseeable future!

All that to say: People in the South need to stay indoors. Northerners will need their BIG coats, LOL!
