#2It's supposed to be -18 in mid-Illinois, with a windchill of -48. This typically happens once or twice a year - not fun, three days later it's supposed to be mid-50's.
Gotta love the 70+ degree swings.
I just want consistent weather, i.e. minimize the distance between the weekly minimum / maximum. Is that too much to ask?

#4As someone from the midwest, below-freezing is no big deal(so suffer seems like a silly word). I'm curious how much will suffer below 0F(~-18C) this week. We certainly will, and the wind chill won't help.

#5Below freezing is nothing, but the people who understand this will see temperatures FAR below that.

#6What do they mean by "suffer"? Isn't this normal in winter?

I'm not looking forward to the heat wave this weekend. Either this large accumulation of snow will cause flooding, or it will melt a bit and then turn solid when the temperature drops again.

#10Living in Ohio, we're well equipped to handle this. Will be thinking about everyone else who may not be use to these types of conditions. Stay smart, safe, and somehow warm everyone!
