Great Scot! Where's my ascot?

We have been showing "Santa Paws" pictures on Channel 3 Eyewitness News Today. And this is Peanut all bundled up for the holidays in a pretty awesome sweater. Thanks to Bethany Mulkey of Soddy Daisy for sending Peanut's picture in. And with morning lows down into the low 20s this morning we might be like ol' Peanut and say with a Thurston Howell accent, "Great Scot! Where's my ascot?" Could be worse though. My brother e-mailed this morning that it was near zero this morning at his house. Not too much farther north from his place it's below zero from Wisconsin into Minnesota. Actually he e-mailed at around 5 am his time. And as of 7 am central time it had dropped to -2 at Moline, IL and -6 at Rockford Illinois. And westerly winds are making it feel more like -15 to -20. OUCH!
Nothing that numbing headed our way, but it will be cold in the morning all week long.
So far this month the daytime highs have been below normal 16 of the first 18 days. And I think we may not get above normal again until Thursday and Friday. Sprawling high pressure will cover us up and keep us dry this week. Christmas Eve we may see a few showers move through. And right now it looks like Christmas Day will be dry.
