Bitterly Cold Wind Chill Values On Tap: January 25, 2007

This advisory was issued just a while ago by the US National Weather Service. We'll see what this is like. :-) Tonight I walked to the post office and as I headed north on Main Street I could hear the clips on the flag poles banging against the pole. It was "breezy" but it felt a lot colder than it has before. The bank sign said it was 7 degrees but "breeze chill" is just a milder wind chill and it was chilly! I only had one letter and it was a membership renewal. Definitely NOT worth the trip to the post office. ;-)
