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.

I had -6 north of Milwaukee this morning. Warmed to +4 earlier today and supposed to hit -8 tomorrow morning. RFC
When I’ve seen it in recent years, the music isn’t even very good...
It’s been kind of interesting to see the working barges complete with full concrete trucks drilling and pouring the pilings for the new I-74 bridge in the middle of the river.
That’s how I see it...just boring....
Ouch. Mid 80s here. I am glad I don’t do cold weather anymore. 😁😀😆
Times Square is so empty.....they’re having to get really close up, on the crowds.
Frozen Diaper Night.
I won’t be going out and it’s cozy warm here since I closed off the bedroom and brought in the other oil filled heater today....I have baseboard heat the air has to be heated back up as it clicks on and off....so I got these wonderful ‘radiant’ oil filled heaters which I love! Keeps the temps steady.
Glass of wine handy for the night....I’m good.
13 degrees in Maryland.
Deep in the heart of flyover country. Plains of Kansas is a crisp 1 degree with a fresh wind chill of -11.
Early morning will be -8 till the sun breaks.
My main concern is my 3 bee hives in the back yard. Those ladies gonna get cold tonight.
......”So is this the LIVE freezin’ yer ass off New Year’s Eve thread, or what ?”.......
ROTFLOL....yep! HAHAHA!
Some folks aren't so wise. More comfort and better camaraderie with strangers a short walk, indoors. Happy New Year to you!
Just below zero here. We are on a path for record setting (duration) cold snap, but in the scheme of things, I think this isn't far out of the norm. Early cold, early ice, the ice fisherman are blessed!
It can be if you want it to be....Spread the word.
Maybe this is one of your neighbors?
A pleasant 53 in Las Vegas at 6:10 pm
Stay warm, FRiend!!
We’re grilling steaks (outside), for dinner.....having a hard time getting the grill up to (it’s usual) 500º....we’re only at 40º outside, right now. :-)
In the mountains in north central WV currently 1, the weather guessers are calling for a low of -5, light snow falling , snowpack varies from 1 to 3 feet.
Great skiing conditions.
Happy New Year.
Oh, shut up.
Instead of falling on the icy sidewalk, I walked in the street. I decided it was safer to dodge the cars.
Amherst, NH ... 3 degrees
