    I'm hoping the company I work for shuts down tomorrow but that rarely ever happens. I think all school is cancelled in MN and ND

    Yup - minus 50 windchill starting tonight through Tuesday(is only -6 and -16windchill right now). They notified us as of 4pm yesterday that school is cancelled for tomorrow. I think last Monday was colder than it will be tomorrow...I was out chasing wolves for 6.5 hours in -20 to -23 degrees and 15-20mph winds. You guys out in Northern MN and the Dakotas usually got the cold and wind a little worse than us though.

    -50 is projected for my neck of the woods. I'll plug in the truck tonight and go to work like any other day.

    Feels like -33 right now. No doubt that it will be -50 by morning.

    I commute 70 miles to work and they told me yesterday to just work from home.

    So what does -whatever feel like? It has to feel like a million little knives stabbing you, right? How do you function in that?

    How bad would it hurt if someone flicked you on the end of the nose?

    Windchills here are expected to be -35 tomorrow. Coldest windchills since 1989. Add the foot of snow we got today, and it flat out sucks.

    Schools closing here Monday and Tuesday. Seriously... no snow or ice warnings! I am hoping work gives early release and stay home order for Tuesday. When it is too cold to work... I go hunt. Love it.
