Here in the mountains of NC we currently are at -4. The winds are blowing in the 40 mph range.
I know 2 elderly couples in there 80's down there, 1 couple lives in Royalton, hoping it's not too bad there I know he will be out fighting whatever snow is there with the walk behind and he shoudn't be doing that at his age!I live in NE Ohio. The Ashtabula Harbor area. Lake Erie is less than 1000' from my driveway. I had to work yesterday & it was windy & cool at 28* but dropped to 0 by 9 AM. It snowed & drifted because of the wind but this storm is very different than anything I've seen in the past 20 years. Its not even the snow or the cold, its the wind gusts at 60 mph, with winds steadily maintaining between 40 & 50 mph. The open water near the lake doesn't help & we're not inland enough to slow it down. This is the 1st time since I've lived here(2006) that the snow & ice is blowing up under my storm doors and building up between the storm & entry doors on both the north & south side of the house. My solid front door is original to the 40's house & has always sealed superior. This odd wind has caused ice to break through the bottom of the front entry door though & ice up on the inside of my house on the hardwood floor an inch in the length of the bottom of the door. I shoveled the snow out and rolled up some bath towels to prevent it for the remainder of the storm, but again, never woulda thaught that could of even been possible. No power outages here yet but my neighborhood shares 3 different grids so dont know about others. So far so good with the exception of my front door...
Almost the same here with 50* yesterday and freezing by the afternoon. Missed getting any snow. Went down to 3* overnight. Hovering around 5* at the moment.56 yesterday and 11 this morning.
My heat has been running on "Aux Heat" continuously for the last 10 or so hours. My electricity bill is going to be through the roof by the time this cold snap ends.Almost the same here with 50* yesterday and freezing by the afternoon. Missed getting any snow.

My natural gas furnace is cycling anywhere between 10 to 20 minutes. That's going to hurt the heating bill.
Stay warm my friends, it's dangerous out there!
3 degrees here yesterday and this morning.
