Dangerously cold temperatures will be in place tonight to ring in the new year for many locations located east of the Rocky Mountains. Locations across the Northeast and as far south as Kansas into Ohio will be below zero at midnight with wind chills of -20 to -40 for many of these locations. Therefore, locations from northeastern Montana into portions of the Midwest and Northeast are under a Wind Chill Warning with Wind Chill Advisories in place as far south as the central Gulf Coast through Monday morning. Monday's highs will stay below freezing for much of Texas to the Carolinas which is a good 20 to 30 degrees below average.
Winter weather advisories are currently in effect for western and northern Texas as well as across the lower Mississippi valley where light accumulations of snow and freezing rain could cause slick conditions through Monday morning. Monday evening through Tuesday will be mostly dry across the lower 48 with the exception of rain showers for Florida and snow showers the Great Lakes. Snowfall accumulations downwind of the Great Lakes are expected to be locally heavier across the eastern U.P. of Michigan and east of Lakes Erie and Ontario where additional totals of roughly 6-12 inches are in the forecast through Tuesday evening.
Needless to say, temperatures will remain well below average for most locations east of the Rockies into the middle of the week but some moderation is expected across the central and northern High Plains starting Tuesday with downslope flow developing. The Southwest will remain warm and dry into the middle of the week with temperatures ranging between 5 to 15 degrees above early January normals.

Not yet but bays and coves are freezing. The New Year’s Eve dinner cruises offered by the LG Steamboat Co the last 15 years are going to be dockside tonight. Not enough open water.
Sounds like you are set for the night.
Especially with the wine!

Yes .....not a drinker so one glass is more than enough. Am having Coconut shrimp and french fries tomorrow. Didn’t fell like pork at all this year.
Family and friends wanted me to visit but wanted to start New Years at home.... feels good too!
Oh sure. Just rub it in by posting it 3 times.
glass of wine - check
closed off doors - check
radiant heater - naw not cold enuf.
I just wrap up in a polar vortex-proof fleece blanket and that does the trick. A Hot and spicy Ramen noodle bowl, like Nong Shim “Black” warms the innards. :9
Aah yes, a little balmy chill in the wind at -7 Degrees F @ 9:17 PM.
Wind 4 to 5 mph.
In Berkshire NY....
That’s Minus 7 to you folks....
A little past 5pm and its 29 F here in Big Lake, Alaska.
Forecasted to be 40F in the next day or two.
Oh yes indeed! LOLOL...
At 8:19 in KC, it is a breezy (11 mph) 2 degrees.
15* on the way to 7* by daylight....
I can handle the cold for awhile, as long as we don’t get tons of snow and, especially, ice.
Husband says that it’s ‘too cold to snow’ here; probably because we’ve been very dry...
I love the Big Island, 78 degrees and all.
Well you’re set too...though I like it warm so I don’t have to use a blanket wrap.........I made potato soup and tomato soup soup so am set for soup too!....
