UPDATES:
Well, that got cold in a hurry! It's so chilly, it's become commemorative:
It's a game of 'good-news, not-so-good-news' for our forecast outlook, still.
The good news: that snow will cease through the morning hours, and we'll get respite for the next couple of days.
The not-so-good news: our current temperature (which, at the time of this writing in the 6 o’clock (am) hour is -15 C is extremely close to our high temperature for the day, and is not terribly far from the highs we'll see for the rest of this week. The stretch of cold ahead – even as we look out to longer-range forecasting – doesn't have much of a break-point. We're not yet halfway through December, but it’s safe to say this month will end up below-seasonal.
Also,at the time of this writing in the afternoon at 3 o'clock, it's hey, -16 C,
