Hunker down, folks...

You think it's cold today and gonna be colder tomorrow? You ain't seen nothin' yet!

A renewed blast of arctic air has prompted wind chill warnings for parts of 10 states in anticipation of the coldest weather since the so-called "polar vortex" event one year ago.

The combination of wind and cold air will lead to dangerous and potentially life-threatening wind chills Tuesday night and Wednesday morning over a large part of the Midwest. The frigid air will bring below-freezing temperatures all the way to the Gulf Coast by Wednesday night.

This blast will be different from the arctic chill that ended 2014, which was mainly confined to the northern tier and the West, helping bring snow to unusual places such as Las Vegas and California's Inland Empire. This time the frigid air will push much farther south and east.

The wind chills will be extremely dangerous in parts of the Midwest, especially Wednesday morning when feels-like temperatures could again flirt with 50 below zero in parts of Minnesota. Exposed skin can freeze within minutes in such conditions.

So I guess it is time to put up the flip flops and break out the shoes and socks. Keeping the shorts on.

[LisaJohn]

Oh crap! I don't have an emergency food supply. The guy on the news just said everyone should have an emergency food supply! Are you kiddin' me!!!

[LATB]

Good shopping weather. :cool1:

Especially if shopping for 8-point bucks. :D

[LisaJohn]

And now he said the "s" word.
I have toilet paper and milk. The bread is low. We took sandwiches
to work for lunch today.

[Rob]

An arctic cold front will impact the mid-state area later tonight, bringing an extended period of subfreezing temperatures and the coldest weather since January 2014.
· Temperatures will fall below freezing Tuesday night and remain below freezing until Friday afternoon.
· We will experience single-digit low temperatures with highs only in the 20s and low 30s.
· Gusty north winds are expected with wind chills well below zero at times on Wednesday and Thursday.

At home and at work (if applicable), preparations should be completed today in anticipation of this upcoming long duration of subfreezing temperatures.
· Ensure water pipes are properly protected.
· Guarantee outdoor animals have adequate shelter.
· Confirm heat sources are working properly
· Safeguard motor vehicles with the proper levels of antifreeze and air pressure in tires.

[LisaJohn]

The cover thingies are on the outside faucets
Fletcher the cockapoo is inside. KitKat and TurboKittyLucy will be coming inside.
Heats working.
Exploder has a full tank of gas. Tires and antifreeze are good. Vette is in the basement garage.

[LisaJohn]

Especially if shopping for 8-point bucks. :D

That's a brilliant idea! I can shoot the deer in the backyard for my emergency food supply.

[CertInsaneC5]

Supposed to be -11 here come Wednesday night/Thursday morning with 15-20 mph winds gusting to 30mph. Oh happy joy joy. Oh, and a 60% chance of lake effect snows tomorrow. 1-3 inches.

Had 3 inches on the ground this morning. I can hear the wind whipping around as I type this. Yay! drifting show for the drive to work tomorrow.

Of course by this time last year we had almost 2 feet of snow on the ground. So far this season 5 inches. I'll take it. The cold sucks. But the snow sucks so much worse. :cert:

Good shopping weather. :cool1:

On colder then normal days the only thing I do different is start the truck up earlier to let it really warm up before taking off.
Its winter time,it does get cold out.Fretting about cold days is almost as bad as naming winter storms like the weather channel does...:slap:

Not your fault.
Clearly the fault of global warming. :leaving:

[Ruffy]

The high tomorrow is about 5 degrees warmer than it was when I was clearing snow this morning.

[markids77]

Wind chill of 5 degrees possible in Savannah Thursday AM??? Holy Chit!

[CertInsaneC5]

Wind chill of 5 degrees possible in Savannah Thursday AM??? Holy Chit!

Try -30 where I am at. That is painful. :Jeff '79:

[markids77]

Average lows this time of year are in the 40s. I grew up in Northern Massachusetts so I have experienced "real" cold... ice fishing and all. One has to adapt to the heat here so my cold tolerance is low after 25 years residence here.....

[JRD77VET]

I just got an email from a friend in Michigan. Actual temp of -23F right now.

[LATB]

Who died and made them god? :bslap:

I agree.

Used to be a great source. NBC bought them and turned it to chit. They injected politics and opinion. I left.
