they have been forecasting a record cold winter since the 1950's here also, but i am not seeing such low temps thus far... not really sure about surrounding areas though. weather stuff is integrated with the other news, which i stay away from. the forecast is separate and that's what i see. the forecasts have been for singledigit and even sub-zero temps (*F) - that would be extraordinarily cold for here.

so far, looking at 28* here today... just cold enough to keep the snow frozen. nothing extraordinary so far. not where i live anyway.

and it's only 9 am and the sun is coming out, so we'll see what happens. it may be another day of slush.
