About 6-7 pm expect temps to be dropping like a rock in this extreme cold frond Low pressure storm. Avoid prolonged skin exposure in brutal cold and wind. Don’t forget after the 1st of Jan. you will need a new lake permit launch sticker for your boats when launching on State controlled launches. Have a safe Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. :cheers2
Haven't seen these low temps in several years. Take precautions and stay safe.
Temps already started dropping here in southwest Indiana.
Yep ... 46deg now, then low temps tonight are forecast to be -5deg F. (Lexington, Ky)
And yes, having been out in -20deg weather I can tell you that if you're not properly dressed you can be in serious trouble very quickly.
Ya'll be safe out there.
Heading our way. Tomorrow afternoon in our neck of the woods.

Same here in SE Ohio. I worked yesterday getting things ready. Generator is ready should we lose power, firewood in the house for the wood stove, extra gas etc. Be careful and be safe everyone.
Yes be careful everyone. Here it's 0 mean air temperature with a feels like -22. We have about 1-1/2 snow on the ground and still coming down. Predicted to be down even lower after the sun goes down. Merry Christmas Everyone. Stay safe and warm.
I'm in Dallas and it is currently 22 degrees not including windchill. It's suppose to be 56 next Friday so I plan on being on the lake before the real winter set in.
Had to shovel snow and plow the driveway with the 4 wheeler this morning at -15, not much wind though. . On the bottom...Long underwear, pants, ice fishing pants, sorel boots. On the top...tshirt, sweatshirt, hooded sweatshirt, carhart jacket, face mask, double lined choppers. Was out for about 1.5 hours and right thumb got cold.
Be smart and you will survive. Make sure you know where and when your kids are going somewhere.
Gonna be pretty cold around here for the next few days. Grabbed some gas for the generator, just in case it takes the lines down.
I feel for you facing these extremely cold days.
I'm lucky. Today is the coldest day here and that is only 26 degrees. The next ten days will be in the 40s but it will be raining all week so I still will not be able to go out on the lake.
I talked with a friend in Arlington this morning. He said it was 11 degrees today but would be back in the mid-50s Monday and the high 60s by Wednesday. Definitely better winter fishing weather there
than here is Tacoma.
I don’t think we are going to get a lot of snow. No more than a couple of inches if it stays around with this wind. Temp is now 12 with a wind chill of -7 as wind is constant 24 mph with gust at 40 so far. I’m smoking a 20 lb ham in the smoker right now with the smoker next to the front door on the front porch. Should be done in a hour. :fingerdanceI have 30 gallons of gas for generator as we will probably loose power where I live. We just have too many dead ash trees near power lines in this county and they constantly get blown down. Might get lucky and keep power in,,just never know. Stay safe.
Grabbed the bucket of ice melter and put it by the door. Never been any good at ice skating.
If it’s calcium chloride your good to -25 for melting ice. Rock salt and all others quit working at 20 F to 0 F degrees.
It is bagged ice melter from a few years ago. We need it here every couple of years.
We have 2-3” of snow, winds howling, thermometer on our deck showing close to zero F. Took our Boykin out to pee and she did it in record time. She came from South Georgia and probably hasn’t seen anything like this.

Where I am at in Wyoming it has been below zero for almost 48 hours now, with the coldest temperature being about 28 below zero. Wind chills have reached minus 50 because during the lowest air temps the winds were only moderate.
Other areas of Wyoming got more snow and had colder air temperatures and higher wind chill values.
Needless to say we will be ice fishing for a while.
ClearCreek
ClearCreek..you guys are definitely getting pounded. We are down to 3 with wind chill at -20 and wind at constant 24 gusting to 40. Still getting snow projected for 4 more hrs. Heck of it is,,by Christmas Sunday we will start warm up and week from this Thursday, it’s forcast daily temp for high willl be 50. Makes what ice we have unsafe to fish.
The Shepherd has me up at 3am to go check on everything. Long thick hair on that dog and she loves the cold. Wind is screaming out. Spitting snow with very little of any staying in place. Certainly is cold out. Went a d made sure the chickens heated waters are work and back inside for me.
11 in Ft. Worth and someone asking if they were biting ....said yes sir the wind is biting right down to the bone :Rofl
second fella asked if we should go to a spot and I said he sure , only without me ! :Rofl
forgot to turn off the water at the meter at the country place
will have to go today and turn it off , likely broke lots of pipes as I forgot to winterize the trailer last week :banghead
the good news is the homestead got winterized well and it is pretty nice inside the house :highfive
Double checked all mine yesterday. Was up early enough to hear the power lines faulting on a tree or something. Some pretty good thumps they made. Thankfully they cleared themselves and the power came back on.
-8 this morning. Wind chill -25 to -30 with wind gusting between 25 to 30mph. Looks like we ended up with 3 maybe 4” of snow if that. It’s blowing and not going out to measure. And not clearing driveway for a while as I used the atv with snow blade. I wouldn’t want to be the mail carrier keeping her window down in her vehicle delivering mail. We do have a few homes without power in the county as I checked REMC’s outage map. I still have power here.
- 2 here on our sheltered back porch.
Maul carrier would be a bad job for sure. Especially with the increased work load with all of the holiday mail
Woke up today at 6 am and temp was a balmy 43 a hour later dropped to 21. Now it is 9 with a steady wind of 20 plus. I am east of Pittsburgh
Woke up this morning first time at 0300. Nose said nope cold out there. Then woke up again at at 0500. Got up and made a cup of coffee. It was -2. Now at 0855 it's -3 with a feel like -25 here in Springfield, Mo....
All y’all stay safe, stay inside if you can.
Same here in Southern Indiana.
I was out around 7:30am.
Went past the boat ramp here by the house. Attachment 445184Attachment 445185Attachment 445186

Yes everyone be real careful it was 11° down here on Hemphill Texas on Toledo bend Merry Christmas to everyone and a happy new year coming.
We have a blizzard warning until Saturday evening. 6" fresh snow so far. Temp is 5 but wind chill below zero. Winds picking up now with some expected as high as 50mph. Mid 40's and rain next week is what I heard. Riders of the storm!
-5 here with -25 wind chill. :puke
I think here in Wyoming the worst is over, for now.
Our weather station thermometer hit zero earlier this morning, the first time in about three days we got at or above zero and it is showing 7 degrees above zero right now. We don't have much wind now so the wind chill values are not that low.
Unless it gets really warm in the next few weeks we will be ice fishing until mid March or later.
If you can, hunker down and let it pass!!
ClearCreek
65 near Tampa and partly sunny. It is expected to be back to normal mid 70’s to low 80’s mid of next week.. will be crappie fishing then .. this should cool the lakes down so crappie will come to nest.

Finally luck ran out. Right now it’s 9 with 17-25 mph wind.. chilll factor -17- to -20, and we lost power at 10:30 am so on generator with lights, furnace, water, and ok. Looks like the outage is going to be a while. Stay safe.
Been some rolling blackouts in this area. All the eggs the hens laid froze yesterday. Crews have been working around the clock at the TVA Gen sites trying to keep them online. I have went and checked on the neighbors
