High 50's with a moderate breeze blowing.  I think most of it is coming from Sacramento.  Shut up, Newscum.
Mostly clear skies here in LaLaLand.

41 here at 8PM in the Southern Tier of NY.  8" of snow we got earlier in the week is almost gone.  46 for the high tomorrow then the bottom drops out and we have some 14-degree nights coming.  Fortunately, nothing below zero.  Unfortunately, along with our warm temperatures we are under a high wind advisory with gusts up to 60MPH.  Already had one short power failure.

It was 10 this morning, the 13th, at my house in southwest Missouri. Wind is not blowing yet but is supposed to start cranking before too long. The high today is supposed to be around the mid 20's with a below zero wind chill.

17 in Oklahoma 23 MPH wind makes it fell like -7. I can shoot in the cold but not in this kind of wind.
I'm  not  H/C or P/C or even a particularly  good shot but I have a hell of a good time!

I guess we must be in the banana belt!  30* on our front porch now with a light skiff of snow on the ground. It's going to get in the teens and lower (for the lows) with highs in the 20s all week according to NOAA Weather.  Some more light snow and wind also.  I think I'll bring in some more wood and throw another dog on the fire!  Maybe I'll make some cookies this afternoon to warm up the kitchen area.  And to think that, in years past, I thought those were shirt sleeve conditions!  :o

Kees, so true.  Maybe not shirt sleeve weather, but maybe a sweat shirt or just a flannel shirt.  I didn't used to think it was chilly until it got under 20 or so.
I recollect fondly snowmobiling in minus 0 degree weather when we would go to Yellowstone in January.  Those were the days.  Now that I am somewhat older, and on blood thinner meds, I have lost all tolerance for  cold weather.  I've been inside all day and my hands are still cold.  Ugh.

I'm in Southern New England, where the temp hit 60-degrees yesterday afternoon, then dropped to just below freezing last night.

Only one snow storm so far this Winter, last week (5"), plenty of rain & flooding, though.
