I know we're not the only area going through this harsh cold spell but I'm a little peeved! Our county has officially declared a state of emergency. All the local schools are closed from grade schools to universities. The temp is 15 below with wind chills as low as the 20s. However, my work has not closed.... and I work for the county in the county/city building. If the wind chills are normally 20 below they'll be 30 below downtown where my building is! I'm tempted to call off but our policy is if you call off the day before/after a holiday (which Monday is) you lose out on your holiday pay! So, basically I'd get docked a days pay for being safe. They are advising layers IF you have to go out and to cover everything! I can't wait.
Ok, I just heard the low for night was 20 below with wind chills reaching 50 below!
