Lucky you. I am happy I did not have to wear gloves yesterday night, and do not need to today and tomorrow night. Up here, it warms up in the afternoon, but late night hours really chill you to the bone if you fail to wear gloves and I do need to walk around a lot at night. Even the most cold hardy people in my class switched over to jeans this week. Additionally, it gets dark so early now. It was only 5:10 PM yesterday, and the sky was already pitch black.

A good example of the wide variation is illustrated in Tomorrow's temperatures:

Hi:60 & Rainy
Lo:29, Cloudy & windy. Watch out for icy surfaces late at night .

Next Day:

Hi:49 & sunny
Lo:31 & windy

High Temps remain in the low-mid 50 from then on, and another cold front Next week tumbles highs into the lower 40's with snow overnight according to TWC. Gotta get salt and sharpen my shovel.

Yes! I am in Montreal (and Upstate New York) so it is a must at night already.

It's high time everybody starts stocking up gloves for next week. An arctic blast will bring freezing low temperatures as far south as Myrtle Beach, SC.

The northeast and upper Midwest are projected to get snow. Southwestern PA is expected to see the maximum accumulation from this system. For those who love the slopes, this weekend should be fun.

I've already heard...it's depressing but thank goodness my 70s will be back in ten days. I still have not turned on my heat in the house yet. I was told by people who have lived here longer then myself that one can wear shorts and a short sleeve shirt on christmas around here and be comfortable...i'm curious about that. It's chilly here this morning in coastal SC, it's 39 but it's going to be up in the 60s today and 70 tomorrow.

Hope you have a good jacket to combat the cold mornings. It was 32 F today morning, but afternoon temps are only in the lower 50s. That's typical for November. I turned the heat on a long time ago.

However, with the arctic blast barreling through, we should see lows around 20 F and highs may just scrape 40 F. Thankfully, no snow is forecasted. Only overcast skies with high wind.

Don't bet on those 70s and t shirt weather, because other weather sources state that you will be held in the upper 50s to low 60s with overcast skies and wind. I would advise you to turn on the heat sometime this month. I have never been to SC, but my buddies in Texas say they have never worn a t shirt on Christmas day. Usually, it's long sleeves and jeans weather down there on Christmas day, while we wear trench coats, jeans, thermals, mittens, snowshoes, and a New England Patriots hat .

Oh Dear.

Please Guys. I NEED INSTANT HELP dressing up for the next couple days.

Lows below 0 F are in forecast for our town, and highs may not break the mid teens. How should I dress up for the next few days. What layers should I wear. I have to go outside that day, so please tell me asap. This is a "once in a decade" event in central NJ and is possibly the coldest temperature I will experience.

I also have relatives visiting from Texas on that day. How should I instruct them to dress up. Keep in mind that they have never even heard about such brutal cold either. They shiver whenever it drops below the low 60's F (for highs).

How long are you going to be out? If only for a short time, if you already have a decent winter coat and gloves, you should be alright. Wear a hat, though.

Your relatives will likely be ill-prepared.

For extended time outside, like in a goose blind where I'm stationary, in cold weather I wear polypropylene long johns, a chamois/flannel shirt, polypro socks, thinsulate boots, thinsulate pants and coat. Gloves will also be thinsulate. I also carry chemical foot and hand warmers in my blind bag.

Keep in mind that if you're heavily dressed and moving you'll sweat and then chill down when you stop moving.
