It's been a while since we've felt this cold

Temperatures Wednesday morning continue to fall under clear skies.  Many areas this morning have fallen between 0° and 3°, with some locations dropping below zero - all without snow cover!  That's quite impressive.  And what's even more impressive is that it's been a while since we've felt this cold. 

There were a few mornings in November when the morning temperature fell into the single digits, but we have to look all the way back to March to find temperatures as cold as this morning.  On March 2nd, the low fell to 0° in Rockford and only reached a high of 9°.  We'll be warmer than that this afternoon, but the increasing wind won't make it feel any warmer.  Wind chills through tonight will remain below zero.

Planning on heading out on the town tonight?  First, be safe!  Second, bundle up.  The only weather concern will be the chills.  Temperatures will fall into the low teens under mostly cloudy skies, but the wind chill will remain below zero.  Have a safe and Happy New Year!
