Waaay below zero

This time of the year, by default I look at my local news channel's website every morning to see if school has been canceled or delayed, whether or not I see snow on the ground outside. The reason is - mornings like this morning. There is a two hour school delay today, not due to snow but due to the extreeeeeme cold. When my wife went out to start her van this morning, the temp was -22! Yep, for all you non-midwesterners, that's a minus sign in front of the 22. :) By the time I snagged this image of the temperature, it was -17. You could really feel the difference, too. Instead of your skin freezing in 5 seconds, it took 7.



The good news is that the winds are supposed to shift east tonight, beginning a warming trend that will bring us into the 20's (+20's) tomorrow. Can you say HEATWAVE!!!
