I guess I should be thankful - we only had -20 this morning. hauled out extra hay and corn stalk bales before the cold got here, hope it lasts ! RW

Woke up this morning to -12. Coldest its been and I hate it! But it did get school cancelled..for some reason. Is that what happens when it gets up to like -30s or what?

5 here in KS, supposed to be up to 50 by Sat. though

When I left home this morning we were at -35. Not sure what we hit for an overnight low. Supposed to be above 0 today and in the 30's to 40's this weekend.

Mine is actual raw temp. For the first time all year we got cold and didn't have more than a 5 mph wind.

We had -40 last night... the coldest night of the winter so far. It was - 54 this morning with the wind chill, and at -40 that isn't much wind!  It is supposed to be up to 32 F tomorrow, so that is a 70 degree change in the right direction in 1 day. I can't wait! I am surprised as to how the cattle are taking this cold. It seems they can take a lot of cold if there is not much wind with it. When i went out this morning, almost all the cattle were out walking around or eating at the hay. Virtually none laying in the straw or in the sheltered areas. Most of them chewing their cuds and enjoying the sun. I am just thankful I am not a cow.

-29 here in North Iowa this morning.      Glad I reworked all the waterers so they're working OK---Hope they still are by morning.  We're apparently due for +single digits tomorrow afternoon--it'll seem like springtime and I won't even be here!!!

We're loading the bus for Denver tomorrow morning--its supposed to be about -22 like it is right now.  My daughter just called from Denver and said its 40 degrees there right now at 8:00 p.m. their time.  Can't wait to get there and warm up!!

Supposed to hit 0 here tonight , raw temp. At 9:30 pm it's 9. Not supposed to be like that down here in the "sunny south". I know that's not bad compared to what some of y'all are having & I feel for you.

-25* last night before figuring the wind chill.  Supposed to be the same tonight.  Had a high of -9* today.  Last night at 2:30 AM when I was walking into the wind on my way back from the calving barn from checking cows, I wondered why a guy would have such a hobby.  There is golf and fishing and other things you can watch on TV in winter.  O'h well, I guess anybody can watch TV about their interests.  Only some of us can live it 24/7.  Better go out and check them once more before we hit the hay.

7 degrees & falling about 2-2.5 hours northwest of you.

It's -14 here and that's not including wind chill.  I don't know how some of you guys handle the -30!

Down to 5 right now & that is cold enough. 

Speaking of cold...

Honestly, 1 time my dad & I had a blow out on our stock trailer in North Dakota, just west of Fargo.  The night before the wind chills were - 90 something!!!!  It wasn't quite minus 90 during the day, but it was well below zero actual temp & the wind was whipping pretty strong.  We each took turns getting out the truck while changing the tire.  Our hydraulic jack was almost useless.  2 ND state cops stopped & checked on us.  They cracked the window & said they would stay & watch us or they would radio for help, but they were not getting out of the vehicle... I couldn't blame them!  Anyway, we got the tire changed, but it took us a little over 2 hours!  I promise I had on 2 jackets, a sweat shirt, a long selved cotton shirt, an insulated underwear shirt, a t-shirt, a thick pair of gloves with a thin pair underneath, insulated underwear bottoms, a pair of jeans, a hat, hoods, 2 pairs of socks...  the longest I could stay out in that mess was about 10 minutes.  It would take 15-20 in the truck just to warm up.  We got to Omaha & it was -14 & it felt a whole lot warmer!  We got to St Louis & had another blow out.  It was 32 degrees & I got out without any jackets on & thought that it felt good.  I told everyone around her not to complain about the cold temps...  - 90 wind chill gives a whole new meaning to cold!!  Those were the good old days... LOL!!
