Polar Vortex survivors check in, please.
« on: November 11, 2014, 11:33:40 AM »
I'm in Des Moines. Its 25 degrees out with a howling wind. Today's high will be 34 degrees.
we got a dusting of snow, but that's it for this vortex. Minneapolis is set for 14 inches of snow!

Please check in if you've survived this vortex.
If you didn't...well, that's just creepy.

Currently 59 degrees, but it's coming.

Sure is.  Doesn't mean we have to like it.

Only a light dusting here, unlike Minneapolis and other places north.

Out here in the Salt Lake area it's partly cloudy and a balmy 47°. We aren't supposed to get our share of this until Thurs/Fri at the earliest, though we're getting some wicked winds through the canyons. (gusting 75 - 85 kts)

Seven degrees, high winds, at 9:00 a.m. Wednesday morning.

That's apparently about as good as it's going to get.
