Today's Weather: A Triple-Dog Dare Kind Of Day

By Chuck Sudo in News on Dec 10, 2013 2:00PM

Don't be sticking your tongue to any flagpoles today because first, we'll want photos of it and second, it's colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra outside. Today is one of those days where we have to get a second opinion on the weather forecast as Skilling Central expects the high to reach 15 degrees today while Accuweather, normally the more pragmatic forecast, has us reaching for the upper teens.

Yup. It's like that today, guys and dolls. The mercury will dip slightly over night (as if it has anywhere to go but up) and we should expect snow this evening. Watch out for those wind chills while you're outside. The winds are making it feel like you're walking the ice planet Hoth right now and won't get much better this afternoon.
