Amazing that the cold air is reaching all the way down into the Deep South!
The lowest temp in Wisconsin this morning was -37 in New Post, Sawyer County. Windchill warnings across the entire state have been in effect since yesterday and run until noon tomorrow for windchills down to -50 F.
Doubt you'll see numbers that low ;)
I've now measured 62 consecutive hours below zero, with another 24 ahead of us. Unfortunately, a repeat of this is possible towards the end of next week!
Stay warm!!
Wow, we are such wimps! I don't see how you function.
