Dangerously cold temperatures will be in place tonight to ring in the new year for many locations located east of the Rocky Mountains. Locations across the Northeast and as far south as Kansas into Ohio will be below zero at midnight with wind chills of -20 to -40 for many of these locations. Therefore, locations from northeastern Montana into portions of the Midwest and Northeast are under a Wind Chill Warning with Wind Chill Advisories in place as far south as the central Gulf Coast through Monday morning. Monday's highs will stay below freezing for much of Texas to the Carolinas which is a good 20 to 30 degrees below average.
Winter weather advisories are currently in effect for western and northern Texas as well as across the lower Mississippi valley where light accumulations of snow and freezing rain could cause slick conditions through Monday morning. Monday evening through Tuesday will be mostly dry across the lower 48 with the exception of rain showers for Florida and snow showers the Great Lakes. Snowfall accumulations downwind of the Great Lakes are expected to be locally heavier across the eastern U.P. of Michigan and east of Lakes Erie and Ontario where additional totals of roughly 6-12 inches are in the forecast through Tuesday evening.
Needless to say, temperatures will remain well below average for most locations east of the Rockies into the middle of the week but some moderation is expected across the central and northern High Plains starting Tuesday with downslope flow developing. The Southwest will remain warm and dry into the middle of the week with temperatures ranging between 5 to 15 degrees above early January normals.

20° West Texas. Not unusual, neither would 75°.
8° F. Only about 30° below average. Not the coldest I’ve experienced in my part of the country. But then again, I haven’t seen a plus 100° summer day, which I distinctly remember, locally since I was a child. So if anything my climate has gotten colder since then. And I doubt I’m alone.
Yabut, looking at the forecast, plus the last few days, this appears to be the longest "cold-snap" I've witnessed in Maine.
God help all you diesel guys.
69 this afternoon at 3 pm. Sierra Madre, near Pasadena, CA. Should be balmy for the Rose Parade. Our city’s little float will be heading across town at sunset for the staging area. We walked in shorts this afternoon, although I wore a coat for early Mass. It was 45 or so. Talk about COLD!!
13 F in the Statue of Liberty’s backyard
19 in Memphis. Warmer than home in Kansas.
12 deg. in Ocean County,NJ.
Reminds me of a morning DJ from years ago. He would give us the ball scores from the night before but never mention the teams.
8-2; 4-1; 3-2; 5-0; etc.
He did it on purpose to drive people nuts. Listeners would call in and be very angry. I always got a kick out of it.
Colder than a Witches T*T for me and I know that that is relative.
6 degrees currently.
Right now +9F but tonight we expect -5F with wind chill temps of -15F to -20F.
9 degrees in Leawood KS

North central Minnesota. -34.5 when I got up this morning, currently -17 and dropping, supposed to warm up to 0 tomorrow. It’s times like this I regret selling the house in Bossier City.
