13 degrees with a windchill of 1 above here in Southern Illinois. Anybody else staying close to the fire tonight?

I haven't seen the grass (or what's left of it) since the Wednesday before Christmas. It's been buried in snow ever since. Every day when I wake up it's like 2 or 11 or 9 degrees outside (as measured by my thermostat thing). And I presume that's without wind chill (and, granted, most of the time there's not a big wind). It's been cooollllddddd here in Colorado like I have not seen in my seven years here. Really, though, I love winter and am disappointed that I have not been on the mountains at all this year. It must be the new baby...

Chicago-land could whip up some coldness when we lived there prior to moving to Colorado. Cold, wet and bitter out there...

I will now go try to watch X-Men 2. But I must admit -- I might fall asleep (and not because the movie will be boring).

It's been cold around these parts for sure, especially when we aren't use to it.

This perfect conversation for the SWAMP thread.

The high here in the twin cities suburbs of Minnesota is expected to be -1 today. Going down to -16 tonight.
