Baby it's cold outside.

As I stumbled into the station in darkness at an hour too early to mention I found myself humming that old Christmas song "Baby it's cold outside". But I like the Will Farrell version better. Highs will not get out of the 20s today and believe it or not that's going to set a trend for the next several days.

It's going to get colder:
It will cold on Sunday with 850 mb falling to -12! But take a look to the north and keep this in mind before looking below.


Bitter cold?
This is the release of the 'polar vortex' or the coldest core of air from the Arctic Circle. The coldest air will still be just a little bit north of our area. That said, it looks like -24 Celsius temperatures at 850 mb. Baby that's really cold
