Not a good time to travel.

Interesting map, shows the Oregon Coast lows at mid 40's, current temp outside our rig on the central Oregon coast is 34 degrees. We should see a high today of the low 50's.

And don't forget the windchill bull, it's getting hard to find the real temperature in the fake weather reports. Windchill is the feel like temperature on bare skin and is only important at nudist camps.

I will be golfing today.......in shorts

It's called winter and the latter of January / beginning of February is typically the worst of it. It has been for about the last 10000 years.

Just because the Weather Channel and others have to sensationalize everything and name it as a storm every time a snowflake falls or the temp drops below 32, that does not equate to a catastrophe, a conspiracy, or a national emergency requiring martial law.

x2 on this. I don't get what the big deal is. Sure it's cold, it's been cold before, it's nothing new.

Come on down! We have plenty of warm weather and sun to share in AZ. Today was around 72 and tonight will be a mild 51.

Not a good time to travel is never...properly equipped, driving slowly. If the road isn’t closed, it’s open!

I blame Canada. Nice neighbors but they are a bit cold at times. :)

:B That statement made me laugh. Forecast for tonight. -39 C. As an FYI. -40 C equals -40 F. Stay warm out there.

This is why I don't live where there are blizzards. I can't imagine getting up in the wee hours to face the freezing cold to dig out the car to go to a job I really would rather not do...

That's what I do. And I drive 35 miles each way on a nasty highway to do it. We only moved 30 miles north of where we were but it is colder and snowier.

Already below 0 here in SE Michigan. Only insane people out and about.
