For those of us living in the heart of the current “polar vortex”, we must set our minds upon visions of Florida, and the warmth that abounds there (even if it is also rather chilly there compared to usual standards).
Report your temperatures here.
Where I’m at right now, temperature is -10 degrees F. Wind Chill puts it at -31 degrees F. Honestly, other than my drive in to work, I wasn’t impacted much by it…other than the fact our furnace is struggling to keep up. We may have to kick on a few electric space heaters in our house in the next day or so!
The way homes are built, including types of furnaces, varies depending on where you live. But the temperatures we are experiencing for the next two days are lower than the temperatures the systems are designed for.
It is -8 with a wind chill of -35. Temperature had gone down since the sun came up. College was canceled for DS and DD. Hoping my furnace will keep up too. Just changed the filter.
Not too bad where I am, but our Chicago office is apparently fairly empty today, with over 3,000 staff working from home… Someone said the “real feel” temperature there (with wind chill) is -49F!
