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.

Better get out your super-duper LL Bean severe-weather long hooded-coat and Bean boots. Bring your "up-town" shoes in a carry bag.
Biker cold weather riding-pants or chaps might be helpful too.
Fifteen degrees Fahrenheit, and it is snowing.
Reminder:
“In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”

I love our POTUS!
66 at 3:30pm, Central California.
Yep! And it feels mighty cold with that wind blowing! Good to be comfy indoors tonight.
9 degrees, heading to-2 here in Metro East Saint Louis..
Currently 38° Baton Rouge, LA, forecast down to 20° by 7pm CST, nights +/- 17 rest of the week, 5° windchill. I thought we all died when net neutrality was overturned, but this may just get us, lol! Just hoping to be able to keep pipes from busting. We’re not accustomed to this kind of cold and will have fun driving like bumper cars when the roads freeze over. Nothing that can’t be solved by Shrimp Gumbo. Stay warm everyone!
10 degrees at 630 PM in Pittsburgh, acc. to the Weather Channel. I’m staying in.
I keep a pair of wingtips in Manhattan so yes, I’ll be wearing my LL Bean gear on the train this week!
“23 degrees...Knoxville, TN”
I watch Knoxville because my son left Memphis and went to UT and never came back 17 years ago. Married a Knoxville girl and gave me 2 wonderful grandchildren. You guys have been running warmer than us. Memphis is 18 degrees with 8 degree wind chill as winds are out of north about 15 mph.
68 North of San Diego
47 degrees right now in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. Low of 32 tonight.
Rural eastern Nebraska -
-7 right now. Been below zero all day.
Going down to -20 overnite.
I have no furnace, woodburner working overtime!!!
But in Kelvin its 248 degrees, so there's that.
here in the San Antonio area, its 35 with a breeze making it ‘feel’ 25 (not sure how that works) Its also drizzling out and I suspect it’ll get colder.
Having grown up in Central New England and living in that area for over 50 years, yeah, it gets cold - this is a bad spell for sure. Thankfully, living in it toughens you for these times.
NE Illinois 8 above at 5:38 pm. My lock deicer froze.
Good man.
I was kinda picturing you as John Cleese, standing stoically on the platform, unaffected, hand resting on an umbrella handle, bowling hat, suit-tails flapping in the wind.
70 balmy degrees in the Tampa Bay area at 6:38 pm. It was beautiful today! Much better than -13 degrees, which is what it was where I spent Christmas week with relatives in Michigan.
