Good Morning, everyone. We reach the midway point of the work week with wind chills in the single digits this morning. Yeah, it's a bit raw outside. The wind chills should ease up as the day progresses, but partly cloudy skies and liberal amounts of sunshine should make the weather feel every bit of the 27 degrees forecast by Skilling Central. But today's forecast is all about coming up with a weather word that Merriam-Webster will reference in its "Word of the Day" podcast five days later.
