Screwy Winter Weather Games.
We hit 6º last night. During the afternoon the wind was really whipping up good to 40mph.
42º tomorrow will really feel balmy and 65º on Saturday will feel sweltery!
The bird water is frozen as is the dog pool. Now to go cut some ice.

Sorry, Mike, I don't mean that. After all, Luke lives there.
It was just too easy.

Got down to -8 last night, high today 2 tomrrow high will be 21. This weekend high's in the mid 50's, doing the math thats a +80 degree's.
[SIGPIC] 73
It's 10 and dropping with wind chill -4. By morning they expect 7 with a chill of -10. If I were outside I wouldn't be talking about the weather, or anything for that matter.
Once upon a time due to circumcisions beyond my control I was stranded 120mi away from home and it wasn't even this cold. I had to hitch hike (when it as fairly safe and legal) along a county road and the 2 or 3 cars out at that late hour passed me by. I finally reached a diner, staggered in, sat at the counter and TRIED to order a coffee to warm me... mumble mmmffft mumumffff. I pointed to a cup, she smiled, brought it and thankfully paid having warmed and continued on my way. Shortened for brevity, when I reached New Brunswick, NJ, after waiting for morning in the station I finally made it home to Rahway by a Pennsylvania Railroad local for fans out there, warm milk this time and bed, I don't think I ever fell asleep that fast.
Take winter weather, especially wind chill warnings seriously, you may live to regret ignoring them, then maybe you won't live.

This afternoon while I was waiting for my stepdad to rescue me:

Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
Weather Channel said this morning that by the end of next week we will be back to the deep cold, maybe even colder. Oh well it is winter time.
18 at noon, expected high of 25 (I got high at 25 too) and not expected to go above freezing for the foreseeable future. At least the howling wind died down! Securitay securitay securitay, notice to all mariners, USCG icing conditions now being broadcast as I type. I'm not ABOUT to leave my bear cave to look at rime ice on the beach pretty as it may be or the frozen Inland Waterway. I'll forage for food when absolutely necessary and not a New York minute before!
I've got the Accuweather weather bug on my Firefox toolbar that generally agrees with the NWS Mount Holly, NJ site I have bookmarked. Present conditions come from Belmar-Farmingdale Airport a few miles to the north and forecast from the NWS office in Philadelphia. The same local conditions and forecast plus marine are broadcast on 146.450Mhz from a nearby firehouse in the Herbertsville section of Brick Township so I'm never out of touch with Gaia should the need arise.
As expected in this frigid weather, the Point Pleasant Fire Department is responding to a report of a burst water heater. Of all the bad luck to have one flame out and freeze. There are reports of water leaks coming in from all over, never a dull moment when you have a scanner.

Cold snap here, too. It's only gonna get up to 66°F (19°C) today.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

Sideways.
High yesterday, 11.
High today, 20.
High tomorrow, 30.
High Friday, 40.
High Saturday, 50.
I think that's a trend...
...hope it stops before next Thursday.
