Yes, that’s right; twenty-stinkin’-three degrees below zero, as evidenced by my trusty outside thermometer…

.

That’s the same as -30.55° Celsius. Brrr. But that seems balmy to Aberdeen’s low of -42° this morning.

According to the National Weather Service office in Sioux Falls, that’s the coldest it’s been since sometime in the mid 1990′s (didn’t catch the exact date) but it’s still not a record low. The record on this date in 1972 was -32°.

Even now, at almost noon, the temp has risen to only -13°, shooting for a ‘high’ of -1°. Can’t wait. But it’s supposed to be in the 20′s or 30′s by the weekend. We’ll be running around in shirtsleeves by then I’m sure.
