Friday's high: 13

It's always comforting to see that the National Weather Service has issued a wind chill advisory for my corner of the world. Thursday night into Friday is supposed to be in the single digits, with wind chills from -20 to -29.

Mmm, toasty. Nothing quite like the first real, plains-Midwestern, sub-zero freezing of the year. I'm only glad that it wasn't last Friday, when I was watching the sun rise over Lake Michigan. It's probably time to break out multiple layers of clothing or something like that.

Yum! (Click on image to enlarge the agonizing details, if you like, courtesy of weather.com)
