We were supposed to have a high of 3F, but the most we got was -3F. Wind Chill started at -37F, we're at -29F now. It took from 6 am to 2:30 pm for the furnace to bring the temp in the house up 5 degrees. I had forgotten to partially shut the vents upstairs and open them fully in the basement.

8:37 pm - -4F, real feel -27F. The wind is supposed to really pick up tonight & last through 6pm tomorrow. Edit: just looked at the latest storm warnings and there's one for now through 10 pm tomorrow and one for now through 6 am Saturday.

Reminds me of a Carlin bit.

Actually, it was Montgomery Ward. But at 3,000+, the brain's bound to be a bit foggy on the details.

Are they sure they didn't mean to name it after Putin's little accident?

The only one I'd question is "Donner"... "Donner, party of 9, Donner, party of 9...Donner, party of 8...Donner, party of ..."
