21F right now, which isn't too bad but the windchill is awful. Its going to dip down to -2F tomorrow night.
I guess I've developed a taste for cold weather with winter biking and my annual drives to Washington every December (except this year). The snow isn't that bad here in St Louis, but everywhere 10-20 miles north or west of me got hit with two feet PLUS ice underneath. Here in STL we got a half inch of ice with a few inches of snow on top.
Because of the ice that arrived yesterday, despite the modest amount of snow today, its pretty dangerous to be on the roads tonight. I-70 is shut down from Kansas City all the way to west St Louis.
Yep, Blockbuster's still open here.
Walked over this little mountain of snow to get to the gas station.
Every shop was dead except for people in H2s, H3s, and Jeeps. Even AWD crossovers weren't on the road tonight.
The wind is really the most brutal part.
New neighbor has a Maserati. DC plates. Their townhome must be a corporate lease. Looks like I need to befriend them.
Ducky and the Seville shivering outside in the carport.
Home.
The snow that you see here is a lot like pavement. Despite being 4-6 inches deep in some spots, your foot only digs in a quarter to a half an inch because its frozen solid underneath.
It isn't that cold here but it's gusting about 60 mph and that makes it feel like sandpaper across your face.
