The period from Jan. 24 through Feb. 9 brought some of the coldest conditions in years to many areas in the central and eastern U.S. Temperatures during this 17-day period were more than 10 degrees below the historical average.During the period, temperature departures of 17 degrees Fahrenheit below average were observed in Pittsburgh, 15 degrees below in Buffalo, New York, and 14.7 degrees below in the nation's capital. Highs in the single digits, teens and 20s were common, as were nights below zero and in the single digits.
Record highs will be challenged over the Central states this weekend. Temperatures will warm many hearts on Valentine's Day. - https://www.aol.com/articles/even-warmer-weather-awaits-central-185640626.html
But while we thought 50f was cold in Oct, yet after days of 20s in day and single digits or minus figures at night, and many below zero wind chill temps, then today at 36f (no wind) seemed rather Spring-like. Of course, I was dressed in my normal Winter layers, jeans, etc, and one t-shirt, one heavy thermal, and 3 light long sleeved undershirts, and a flannel shirt, and with just a sweat shirt for outside to do some of my regular additional snow removal (not much space to put it in this city), but with poor circulation in extremities at age 73 , and a low metabolism, then such layers are helpful. Thank God.
Snow after a few day. Sign lists Major Sins of America. One side in English, another in Spanish. Snow is cut into a shelf for banana boxes containing various items of surplus food that we are blessed to be able to pick up to be given away once a week, and I usually give each new person a gospel tract, by the grace of God + to His glory.
