I live in the southern Minneapolis, MN area and well the thermometer outside today is -3 with a windchill of around 30 to 40 below. Yesterday at this time it was -17 below and a similar windchill. UGH! It is cold. It is too cold to even let my little ones play outside. I cannot wait for our winter vacation in February. We hope to go to Hawaii to thaw out.

I'm in NC between Raleigh and Fayetteville. Today's high of 41 will be followed by colder temps the next two days. Night time lows in the teens, highs in the 20's.

That's pretty cold for us. My BIL came down from NH for a couple months to work with my husband and "escape" the cold. Guess that didn't work as well as he hoped!

Cincinnati, 17 right now and single digits tonight. Highs tomorrow 11. Lovely.

I think once it gets below 32, it is just plain COLD. I am so not a winter fan. I love the sun and warmth.
