It is a balmy 2.8 °F with "Light Snow Freezing Fog" and a windchill of -16 °F.
A clip of the forecast for my area:
"In addition to the snow... strong west to northwest winds of 25 to
35 mph with gusts to near 50 mph along the Lake Shore will continue
into Sunday night. This will create blowing and drifting snow as
well as dangerous wind chills ranging from 10 below zero closer to
the lake to as low as 25 below zero well inland."
And it looks like the winds are starting to shift enough to fire up the lake effect snow. SO glad I do not need to go anywhere this afternoon.

Usually winter in SoCal means I have to wear a long sleeve T-shirt in the evenings; but we've been having a real cold snap lately: 54 deg. F and sunny at 10 AM, night time lows in the 40's.

Nice 23F at the moment, forecast says it will drop to -13F in a few days.
Thank god only -13F, I just hate when temperature drops to -40C/F or so, my cars suspension gets quite stiff below -20F.(26y old MB W123)

I am wondering, how do you guys go without electricity on cold days like this? How do you keep your houses warm? Don't you need electricity to run the furnace?
The coldest I seen was -27F on a visit to Alberta Canada long ago.

The coldest temperature I have ever experienced - ever - was about +30F.
Haven't even seen a frost since the late 1970s.
When people say "it's freezing" around here, it is NEVER meant literally.
But our winter is the nicest time of year.
We were having highs in the single digits (Farenheit) for a while. I rode my bike to work & back Friday (YouTube vid), and I think it was 10°F at most. On the way home, I believe it was about 4°F and falling. Cold enough!
