At 11:42 this morning, we are looking at a wind chill of 42 degrees below zero out on the prairie.
At 15:21 in Brooten, the air temperature is 20 degrees below zero. The winds are out of the northwest at 26 miles per hour. The wind chill is 52 degrees below zero!!!
Hang on for the ride, it's gonna be bad!
*By 21:00 tonight, the wind has gotten absolutely nasty and violent. And I am not using the word violent lightly either. We now have 60 below wind chill readings. Holy cow!!!! I've ran my '98 Buick every couple of hours since mid-afternoon just to keep things going and make my errands around town by car and not by foot.
I generally enjoy walking a few blocks here and there in town, but today has not been a day for that.

I hope you are all staying warm and staying safe!
