Minus something here in balmy southern Wisconsin. (I've been to the northern parts. Don't want to go back.) 10 day forecast shows a warming trend. If I stretch out the trend, we'll be above freezing by March.

I was out watching the CP through central Minnesota near my home over the weekend. Air temp was about -15, but the wind was calm. Got down around -25 overnight here, however northern minnesota near the canadian border had a low last Sunday of -54 degrees F, air temperature, that wasn't a wind chill!

Ok here in good old Philadelphia PA it was about 28, but the wind chill made it feel as if it was 15. We had some snow that started in the late morning into the evening. The roads here are terrible except the major streets. In the greater Philly reagion the roads are all ice, I mush of seen over 30 people slip and slide on the ice. I even saw one collision. Not Good. I tell ya people over here in the southeastern part of PA don't know how to drive in the snow. They think just because they have 4 wheel drive they can do 50mph down the road and not slide. I hate driving in this weather but, I love to hunt, railfan, and snowboard in this weather!!!!!!! We're due for a bigger snow storm on Saturday into Sunday. I hope I don't have to go to college on Monday!!!! LOL
