I wish there really was global warming.
Anyone who has been outdoors for any length of time from the Dakotas to the Northeast U.S. probably does not have to be reminded as to how cold it feels outside. Just in case you were wondering what it feels like up north, or perhaps you were curious why your bare hand stuck to the trash can lid, here goes. Shown below are what the lowest actual temperatures have been the past few days and what the lowest AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperature was so far:
International Falls, MN. - Lowest Temperature minus 32° RealFeel minus 47°.
Fargo, ND. - Lowest Temperature minus 24° RealFeel minus 44°.

For most places in the Midwest, the core of the cold air is sliding to your east and you probably already have experienced the lowest temperatures of this particular outbreak. However, for those of you in the northern and central Appalachians, as well as along the coastal Northeast, the coldest morning so far is on the way Tuesday.
For skiing interests in the Northeast, this pattern has been long awaited, allowing for ample snowmaking and fresh powder. Be sure to dress appropriately if you plan on taking to the slopes the
next few days and travel wisely in areas being clobbered by lake-effect in the snowbelts of western and upstate New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.
