I just posted this on FB and told people I was taking bets on how long it takes my dogs to run outside and do their bidness in the morning.

I'm betting about, oh...17 seconds tops.

They're such babies! Earlier today, after the temps dropped, they both came running up to me in the house wanting to run outside - from inside they could see that it had stopped drizzling and the sun was shining brightly in the deep, blue Texas sky - what a beautiful day it seemed to be! So I opened the door, they both ran out... and came to screeching halts about four feet outside the door.

Then they dashed out into the yard, took care of bidness, and had their cold dog noses pressed against the glass, with looks of quiet desperation in their eyes, in no time flat!

They're both stretched luxuriously out in front of the fireplace now. They're southern dogs - dey ain't used to dis.

There it is... The piece of air from the pole that broke off and headed south.. Just beautiful. At least everyone reading here knows and is prepared. So be safe out there. Hope everyone else involved copes and is ready

Left image is the 850mb temps in C°. Right image is the actual surface temps in F°. Wind Chills are in the negative 50s in North Dakota. Negative 30s & 40s in South Dakota.

WE ARE NOT USED TO THIS! I don't think I even have any clothes warm enough to wear outside in that weather! So...I just won't go outside.
Arctic suit time :



BTW, NOAA is predicting a 48 F diurnal range for central NJ.

Tomorrow's diurnal range looks insane, like something you'd see in the center of the country.

A high of 50F with a low of 9F.

Daytime highs are impressively low, but I agree...overall the minimums are nothing to write home about. We dropped to -15 F/-26 C in January 2009. That's the lowest temperature I can recall personally experiencing in recent years. I would love to see -20 F or so for novelty's sake.

Pshh.... OKC's record high and low for 11 Nov are both from the same date: 83/17 F that date in 1911
