It was 42 degrees when I got up this morning at 5:30. It's 18 now. We have bare roads right here, but parts of other roads are shut down due to icy conditions, "flash freezing", and have heard on the scanner two ambulance calls for older persons who have fallen outdoors.

We have a wind chill advisory for tonight. Temperatures around zero or below with the wind equals a "feels like" of -25. The wind is already whipping. But no alligators!!!
