Its a windy 32* out.

Depending on how the wind blows off Lake Erie affects how much snow we will get.
The lake isn't frozen.

Oldest son supposed to come for Christmas,, won't surprise me if he doesn't come.
Weather news is say possible power outages,, which could do damage at his place.
Not only freezers but he has alot of electronic stuff that he works with in his shop. :oops:

I do think the temperature extremes are worse in eastern vs. western Wa. I lived in Olympia from about 85-93. I don't remember what the coldest was when I lived there. I do remember the apartment had baseboard heat and that the electric bill was pretty cheap at the time. I think 40 dollars was the highest I ever paid.
 
When I got up at 7am this morning, it was 44 degrees F (6.7 degrees F). The artic front blew through at 9 am this morning, and, now, at 12:20pm, it is 19 degrees F (-7.2 degrees C) with snow flurries. Even a little too cold for my Pyrenees to want to be outside.
 
Expecting up to 70mph winds, (that's over 100km/hr) here near the northeast east Atlantic coastline. :oops:

Extreme rarity! And likely widespread power outages. :(

If power is out Friday night, Sat, Sat night...it will be very, very cold. o_O:eek::(
 
It's about 43 degrees in Ohio right now but should drop to 2 by morning. I keep thinking of a book I read a few years ago.

The Children's Blizzard based on a true incident, in 1888, when children went off to school on a mild day without warm clothing, the weather started to look bad, so the teacher sent them home, but most of them were only about half-way home when the temperature took a drastic drop and a blinding blizzard set in. Over 200 people died that day most of them children.

Yep, a terrible and impressive storm. From Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoolhouse_Blizzard):

Many who were caught unaware misjudged the weather due to a warm spell. Carl Saltee, a teenage Norwegian immigrant in Fortier, Minnesota remembered that "...on the 12th of January 1888 around noontime it was so warm it melted snow and ice from the window until after 1 p.m." This changed rapidly for the teenager who continued that by 3:30 p.m. "A dark and heavy wall built up around the northwest coming fast, coming like those heavy [sic] thunderstorms, like a shot. In a few moments, we had the severest snowstorm I ever saw in my life with a terrible hard wind, like a Hurricane, snow so thick we could not see more than 3 steps from the door at times." The Boston Daily Advertiser reported under the headline "Midnight at Noon" that "At Fargo....mercury 47° below zero and a hurricane blowing...At Neche, Dak. the thermometer is 58° below zero."
