Chilly Outside (-33F)

-20F at 9:04 PM. I'm guessing it's going to be around -25F to -30F by morning.

Update; at least down to -33F this morning.

Good hell! What kind of challenges do these temps pose to normal life?

Lovely. My thermometer says it got down to -33F.

You go through quite a few car batteries and have to bundle up. Most people stay indoors, but our family doesn't and we still get out often. I still make my kids walk to school at -40F.

Tough kids! It was near 0 here in Salt Lake last night. That must feel like a heat wave to you guys!

Crazy Cold! My youngest girl was playing basketball at Wayne HS last night, so we drove to Bicknell. It was so cold! Our windows had ice on the inside!

My windows are covered in ice too. I can't see outside!

I have to admit, this isn't something that I miss about Utah. Our high here today is 79, and it feels like 81 because of 90% humidity. Cold front coming this weekend.....lows in the 40s. I actually wish it would turn cold and stay cold for awhile. Just doesn't seem like the holidays when it's so warm outside.

I got to watch the news last night and our "Cold Watch 2013!!!" Tempurature dropped down to 39degs!

Get them to work out what that is in Celcius...that'll warm them up for a few minutes

I suspected we might have had the nation's low, but the town just to the west of us has us beat at -38F.
