This cold is not going away anytime soon. It's a really big system covering most of the US. NYC's high today was 31F, normal is 51F. Just a wee bit cooler than expected for this time of year.
Get ready New England! Here comes snow!

Its wiiiiiiindy here... The bronze weatherstrip around the front door is singing, must be gusting close to 50.
Going to blow like that with a low around 10 tonight, have to keep a close eye on the stove. Breaking out the good wood early.

froze to death at the Christmas parade today, wind was so bad the gusts would force the flag holders to just stand there and hold on.... by the time the clown in the red suit showed up most people were gone, frozen, crying kids everywhere

There are days when the huge old Burnham furnace (1894 vintage, converted from coal to oil many moons ago) in the family home is appreciated. Half an hour and the 6000 square foot home is toasty. Don't use the oil often, but occassionaly.

Have to admit, for quick, thorough heat all over, oil burning in the Buderus can't be beat. Try never to use it. We came home from a 3 day trip at 9 pm, too late to get the stove running. 20 minutes oil got the house warm.

On my way to work last night I have to go towards Gillette stadium to get there. I turn off rt 1 about 2 miles away from Gillette. As I sat in traffic before turning I could see Pats fans walking out in droves, it was just after halftime and only the hearty Pats fans stayed. The thermometer in the truck read 21 deg and I know the winds were consistent at about 25-30. I don't blame them for leaving for the first half they saw, but kudos to the fans that did stay, they got a great second half.

60's in eastern Mass, no complaints. Lots of rain, looking at 1-4 inches thru 4pm. Wind is coming in hard, gusts to 50 at times. I haven't heard any giant 'crack' noises or thuds yet. Fingers crossed
Living in NW Iowa means there is no "normal" for weather, you might be riding a dirt bike one week and a snowmobile the next.

same thing here, it was in the lower 30's the last couple days then this front came in. Should be back to same tonight after storm rolls out
In the thirties but I have a 13 pound turkey in the oven and a three pound meat loaf in the wings along with all of the sides to go. So the oven eating 4,000 watts or so it should keep the joint warm today.
Only the two of us and the cat for Thanksgiving but I am getting my winter cooking done and loading up the freezer.
