Today's Weather: Cuts Like a Knife

By Chuck Sudo in News on Jan 7, 2011 12:31PM

We can handle the cold weather fine. It's the high winds that make winter a bitch. Anyway, TGIF and all that, right? Tom Skilling and his Tribune weather elves have amended the forecast a bit. It'll still be cold, just not as much as predicted. Temps in the 20s instead of the teens.

It's that wind chill that'll have you cursing everything holy or not today. Gusts are expected to reach 25 MPH, bringing the wind chill to anywhere from zero degrees to ten above.. So bundle, carry moisturizer with you, and drink plenty of water; this is dry weather.
