In December and January, our local high temps were averaging in the 40's and 50's. . . I guess Mother Nature felt a need to reassert herself! Seriously, the above forecast is NOT typical Indiana fare, even in a "normal" winter. Then again, neither were the 40-50 degree highs we experienced over the last couple of months. . .things have definately gone haywire here in the heartland. . .

16 below this morning at 6:00AM. We haven't had a cold spell like this in quite a while. When we have had cold weather the past few years, it is cold maybe one night or two in a row, at the most. This spell seems to be lasting for a while.
What part of the country are you in?
Nevermind. I see Ft. Wayne. Yep, cold there too!
I'm as far north in Wisconsin as you can go without stepping into Lake Superior, which is frozen solid now, enough that there is a designated road to Madeline Island, complete with cops with radar!
Minus six as I type. Think spring.
-8 when I left the house to get the paper an hour ago, with a -27 wind chill. ACK. (Thats Mishawaka by South Bend)
When I first moved from Texas to Minnesota, and we had a cold snap like that, I thought to myself: My God what have I done? Stay warm.
Ooh, Minnesota . . . I saw where the actual temp in Northern Minnesota this morning was -49°. I didn't check to see what the wind chill was, but I bet you wish you had a witch's tit or two to make it warmer.
Oh, by the way, looks like we could be back up in the 30s by this time next week. Man, I hope Phil was right and we have an early spring. I HATE WINTER!!!!!
Spado - Nice to see you here! My wife's from the other end of your state.
UL - I'd BEEN thinking spring until the last two weeks. . .
Paddy - Was the paper worth it today?
Kvatch - If I ever move again, I'd like to go home to SoCal if I could afford to live there now!
Robert - Brother, I'm with ya!
Holy cow.
For me, temps like you're having would be like descending into hell. None of that fire & brimstone crap. Nope. Hell itself is freezing-ass cold.
