A nip in the air - more cold coming
Got down to 12�F last night -- currently a balmy 18�F with wind gusting to 20MPH for a wind chill of 1.6�F. Getting some more firewood in today from the barn -- load up the bin on the porch. It holds about four days worth. I pitty the rest of the UNited States -- the jet stream is not just hitting us, it's all over. From Accuweather:
One of the Worst Ice Storms in Years Continues From Texas to KentuckyAt least we just have the cold -- the jet stream has not had the chance to pick up any moisture... Posted by DaveH at December 6, 2013 11:03 AM
An ice storm will continue to affect millions of people into Friday and threaten to cut power for hundreds of thousands from northern Texas to western Kentucky.
Travel by vehicle or foot will be dangerous during and after the storm, due to icy roads and falling trees and power lines. The power could be out for days in hard-hit areas. In some locations hit by ice, temperatures will dip into the single digits and teens in the storm's wake, causing wet and slushy areas to freeze solid and adding to the hardship for those without heat.
