-40F/-40C wind chills tonight, my main weather forecaster Tom Skilling says a low of -17F/-27C by 6AM Tuesday, we may break 0F/-18C by noon tomorrow...
Coldest day since February 1996...high -15F, low -28F. Brrrrr....We've also accumulated more days with highs below 0F than the past four winters put together....
Well, the freeze warnings don't extend into the Koeppen A zone (tropical), but some tropical climates do occasionally get freezes. The key is that summer-like weather resumes in short order and dominates the winter season to such an extent that it's still suited for plant growth (subject to available rainfall of course).

Isn't it nice to be talking about the 0F line instead of the 32F line? That's the kind of line I like to see galloping.
