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.

Oh boy, I'll bet that was fun. Nothing quite like quite like taking out a thousand screws, dropping half of them, skinning up the backs of your hands, and all while arching your back across the passenger-side door sill....
...AT -11 degrees!
I'll bet it felt pretty good AFTER you got done, and came inside and thawed out your fingers.
I know...I was poking the Tusconan.
Going down to -5F here in Missouri tonight. Whole area is covered in Key birds.
9 below zero. Northern Wisconsin.
Might get down to -18 overnight, or cold enough to freeze a well-digger’s butt, as my mother used to say.

I’m a finger tapper, great song for it.

Just the other day, a Maine guy told me to use dryer-towel sheets instead of Cutters or Off. He said; "You'll smell good, and the bugs hate it."
He said he hated the smell of insect repellent.
Give ‘em hell! 74 degrees ......
Zero !
It’s nothing degrees !
In the twenties now ( not including wind chill effects). Will be in teens over night. We ain’t as cold as those further north
Yes. Went Bootstrap right on base. Was in the CBPO from Jun 76 to spring 77, exec to the base commander for about 4 months summer of 77, then up to the 8AF Staff for the next six years... Awards and Decs, Human resources and last couple years Senior Officer Assignments. Was Capt/Maj Chuck Bass in the Comm Sq when you were there? He’s the culprit that got me into scouting.
66 degrees
