Brrr edition

The current arctic blast has drop the temperatures down into the low single digits and it looks like it will get colder overnight as there isn't much of a cloud cover. Having been around the block for a number of years, this cold reminds me of any stretch when I was living in Cincinnati during the late 70s and early 80s.

As I recall it was in January when the air temperature was around 25 but we were expecting one of these Alberta Clippers to drop the temperature in the next 24 hours. As I recall, the drop ended up over 50 degrees straight down and with the wind chill the feels like temperature was around -40 something. Not only was school cancelled, but my apartment complex lost electrical service and the cold work me around 8 AM. Luckily, my favorite restaurant had power and I spent the next 24 hours there waiting for electricity and heat. Hopefully, this blast will not be that bad.
