Our outdoor temperature is 15.1°F, the humidity is 55%, the Dew Point is 1.8°F and our wind chill is 15.1°F.

The wind direction is Northeast and my anemometer is still caked with ice, so I have no wind velocity to post today.

We received another 3 inches of ice and snow here over the past 24 hours.

How about a salad with some “meat” on its bones?
