It’s 1 degree below zero and sunny outside this morning, and the National Weather Service (or what’s left of it) forecasts a high of 6 above. We have about five inches of snow on the ground, and the NOAA office in Lincoln has issued an advisory for Springfield, Peoria, Galesburg and surrounding counties warning that “dangerously cold wind chills as low as 25 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes.”
An update at 2:50 p.m. added Bloomington-Normal, Champaign-Urbana, Danville, Jacksonville, Decatur, Chatleston and Shelbyville to the affected area (that’s one little NOAA office issuing advisories for half of downstate Illioisand warned of “blowing and drifting snow of the fresh snow pack, especially on east-west oriented roadways.”
All of which got me thinking, welp, you wanted to move up north, didn’t yhou.
