Same here. The temp will be close to zero tonight. I'll be up in a couple hours to stoke the fire again.
Probably 18-20° by daybreak here! I'll be back up at 3:30! I'm laughing to myself, @Mountain trapper is like, "we'll have a couple of feet of snow", and Pearl's excited because it's flurrying!!
The quiet before the storm.

25F, the high temperature of the day. Cloudy, a gloomy cold bucket of suck. Later this afternoon/tonight, the temperature will drop to around 0F
Might climb into double digit temperatures sometime Thursday.

23* and sunny, high of 34* today.
Was 21* and windy all night long.
But, looking at everyones postings, it seems like mine is a heat wave in comparison!!

Negative 5 or 6 earlier, now a balmy 3 degrees. High of 19 today. Tomorrow and Tuesday will have colder lows.
This morning at 11 am -12f
Up to 24° here right now!
Got you beat 27 here.
It runs about 5 to 8 degrees warmer here then Anchorage.
How is it we're having the same temperatures?
It's really not too bad here being only 40 miles away from the Pacific Ocean. Clear skies, 26F by 3 a.m. and around 43F at 2 p.m. and no wind in the day time. The Rocky Mountains a few hundred miles east of us are just high enough they're blocking a lot of the colder temperatures from the Arctic system heading west from the northeast. Pacific Ocean keeps the coastal regions pretty warm, like it's not really uncomfortable outside if you're dressed warmly. But as soon as the sun sets below the horizon in the west it's like getting hit with a hammer, the wind comes up immediately and temperature rapidly plunges to below freezing temps in only 5 to 10 minutes. Wham!!!!
What state are you in, and what elevation?
North GA. bottom of the Appalachian chain. 750 sea level.
Heading to bed, 11° and dropping. Grateful car is in the garage and it has heated seats for in the morning!
Thank you. Well that geography and elevation explains to me why it's so warm where you are.
It turns into a regular stew pot in August!
Just chilly here, highs around 30 till Wednesday when it warms back up. (north half of the state)
I'm concerned for the folks south of here. Their homes aren't built for this kind of cold. Mobile might get an inch of snow. Only happened once since 1996. The rest of the coast might get snow also....
"Snow in New Orleans is quite rare, with only 17 measurable snow events recorded since reliable data began in 1852."
@Supervisor42 better break out the long johns!!!! gonna get cold down your way!!!

*Warning, micro-rant:
I watch the local weather forecasts every night. I figure since they 'live down here', they will be the most accurate...
But you can tell they spend all day sitting around saying: "but what if this also happens?"...
And then, "what if this also happens at the same time?"
..."and then this happens too!?"
Our 'snow day' is gonna be Tuesday...
First forecast: 3-5".
Next day: 5-7".
Tonight's forecast: 7-11"
C'mon man, put down the hashpipe!
I remember our last 'historic snowfall' and I had to race out of the house to get a picture before it evaporated.

Your ground temp should start melting it as soon as it falls... up to a point! If the snow is deep enough it'll drop the surface temp before it all melts. Then you're stuck with it until the air warms up.
I got 3" last weekend, it was gone in 36hrs... but I got strong sun after 24. Maybe you won't have to suffer more than a day.
