It's a balmy 10 below right now.
Wind light, around 5 mph, that makes the wind chill only around -22.
Visibility is unlimited. Or it would be if it wouldn't be dark out. Visibility is limited to headlight range.
Humidity is a moist 47%. Until you walk inside then it becomes 1% (something the Weather Channel optimistically calls "dry"), which means the air sucks all the water out of you eyes until you feel that you have splintery, wooden eyes much like the comic relief pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean. It also means any time you walk across the floor and pass something metal, sparks arch from you to it, and you can track the path of someone across a dark room by watching the path of lightening they leave.
But my favorite statistic is Dew point: -23. -23 How in the world can dew (or frost) form that far below freezing? Wouldn't it be frozen already?
I know I will be.
Still, it is refreshing and makes you appreciate a warm house.
