What does the new year bring?  Colder weather

The last Monday of 2024 brings very close to normal weather for this time of year, with our high today of -8 under mainly cloudy skies.  The windchill won’t make things particularly unpleasant today.  The below normal conditions begin New Year’s Eve with a high of -11, and getting down to -19 for your trek home—with a designated driver, of course—after your New Year’s Eve festivities.  The first day of 2025 will be a good day to recover on the couch under a blanket with some hot tea, as the high gets to -16 under bright sun.
