It ain’t so much the snow – which is minimal, although the eastbound transition to the Poplar Street Bridge was sporting – but today we’re looking at a lot of wind and plunging temperatures, so y’all be careful out there. Reports are the St Louis area will have a wind chill somewhere in the -10 to -20 range (which, when I lived in North Dakota, was called “springtime”) by the evening commute…and, as always, watch out for other drivers (famous last words: “But the speed limit sign indicated I could do 65!”).

Could be worse, as our friends with Minnesota Triumphs will attest: -35 wind chill currently in Minneapolis-St Paul, according to KSTP. Our amigos in the DC-Baltimore area (Capital Triumph Register and Triumphs Around the Chesapeake territory) also got hammered yesterday with plenty of snow, school delays, traffic jams, etc.

Again, what with the apparent arrival of “real winter,” y’all be careful out there.

And BTW, one month to Polar Bear 🙂
