Mid-January arctic chill

Long term forecasts are indicating a deep freezing over the northern tier of states starting around the 14th of the month and lasting to about the 19th.  This will be the coldest air we’ve had to deal with all winter season.  High temperatures will be well below zero with overnight temperatures near -20°F.  That’s not even factoring the wind, which is projected to be around 10 miles per hour for a dangerous wind chill near -40°F.

If you haven’t already put the extra blankets on the bed from the closet, you may be digging them out fairly soon.  Brrrrr!
