Just for fun -- it is 6 degrees F or -14 centigrade here
in Chicago today. It is also snowing. Usually, around
here, it only snows when the temperature is above 20 F.
Tomorrow it will be only 2 F. I don't mind temps above
20F, but this kind of cold is scary. Minneapolis is much
worse. Lorelei
I hates to hear folks in Chicago say things like that,
because weather comes right down US 30 to Warsaw.
Current conditions Temp 9.0 F, Hum 88%, Baro: 30.02 in.
Falling, Wind WSW 11 mph, Rain 0.00 in Peak Gust 14 mph at
1:50 am, SR 8:07 am , SS 5:30 pm, inside temperature 77.5 F,
H 30%.
And everything but the time at the bottom stayed the same
while I typed all that. So I see that things aren't much
worse in Chicago. I haven't set foot outside all day, not
even to balance myself while I emptied the cat's dry-food
bowl onto the patio. (I dump the cat-food crumbs in front
of a low window so the cat can watch critters come to eat them.)
On reading the fine print, I see that our low today was
-8.1F. Wind is now SE 3 mph. When I could last see out,
snow was coming down, so I can't see why rain registers
zero. Just asked DH -- he said snow can't get into the rain
gauge. We used to have an official rain gauge that you took
the funnel out of, then brought in, thawed, and poured into
a graduated cylinder.
