Weather watch: Arctic air turns every continental U.S. state blue
Courtesy of WSI (www.wsi.com)
Despite the near-balmy mid-40s temperatures today, the cold is coming. Bitter cold.
This frost/freeze map posted on Intellicast, a weather forecasting service, indicated bright blue in every single state on the continental U.S. Only Southern California, the very edges of the Gulf states, and the southern tip of Florida will be unaffected by sub-freezing tempertures over the next few days.
While early morning lows will approach the -0- mark, daytime highs will remain in the 20s for the next few days, so it could be worse in Middle Tennessee. Northern Vermont and upstate New York, Michigan and Minnesota — most of the states in the northern tier — are in for some minus-40 readings, not counting the windchill. Even sunny California, about 2/3 of it, will be below that pivotal 32 degree mark.
Dress appropriately, especially if you have to remain outdoors for any length of time.The only thing that will high through Saturday is the amount of heat it will take to stay warm. Higher fuel bills will be an inevitable consequence.

About Christine Anne Piesyk 
In my 40+ years in media, I have worked as feature writer, investigative reporter, editor, publisher, and film/theater/arts critic. I brought my liberal New England activism to Tennessee several years ago, having finally completed a mid-life undergraduate degree in community organizing and women's studies, and an MA in Interdisciplinary Arts with a concentration in Alzheimer's Disease. I served on Future Search Commissions for two colleges and on homelessness for the City of Northampton (MA), where I applied some of my undergrad work in urban planning and community development. I am a member of FreeThinkers for Peace and Civil Liberties. I am a certified storm spotter just because weather fascinates me. In my spare time (define spare time please?) I am a voracious reader, obsessive movie buff, ballroom dancer, and classical music junkie. I also create sci-fi/fantasy and renaissance costumes. I see life as an ongoing opportunity for learning and adventure (one current interest is mastering preparation of foods from India and Southeast Asia). My dream: a return trip to Machu Picchu. After all, the best things still to come. All posts by Christine Anne Piesyk as presented on Clarksville Online are copyright ©2006, 2007, 2008 to the author.
