It's currently snowing and very windy (I do live in the windy city 🤷‍♂️). It's about 20 Degree Fahrenheit (feeling is 9 degrees). This whole upcoming week it's supposed to stay in the teens'. The highest temp. it'll get to is 23 degrees and the lowest temp. it'll get to is 5 degrees.

A few days ago we had about 10 inches of snow. Now we have an extra 3 inches along with frigid cold weather. Nice combo huh 😡

The picture is from my bedroom after I finished shoveling. But, the wind blew snow back on the driveway 😡

I'm from southern Minnesota but going to school in Omaha. (The climates are more similar than many might guess, but Omaha sees temps that are about 6-7 degrees warmer, pretty much year-round. That means that average snowfall drops from 40 inches to 30 inches or so, and average summer highs go from tolerable low 80s to pushing 90. Lots more freezing/thawing down here, and that's very hard on roads, cars, etc.)

I think that the mid-midwest/plains (Omaha and Des Moines, etc.) has a strong claim to be one of the more extreme 4-season climates in the U.S... somewhat jokingly, it has) the winters of Fargo with the summers of Atlanta (July highs are less than two degrees off Atlanta's on average!) The city just got a record snowfall of a foot + last week, and a few more inches today.

Next week, Omaha is supposed to see below-average lows around -10 and highs around 5-10, plus some more snow:

We warmed into the upper 30s here I would guess. Have some 0-10 degree days coming up. This is the coldest weather so far this winter for us. I have barely even worn my Carhartts this year. I filled my propane tanks on the 5th wheel so I’ll be nice and cozy until the cold weather breaks in another week or so.
 
Mother Nature is what it is. It is 28 and cloudy in my neck of the woods as I type this. I admire those who truly appreciate the change of seasons. Like those in Minnesota that love ice fishing. Snow Mobil’s, summertime fishing, fall hunting..
 
Right now? It’s great.

The rest of the year? 🔥
LoL yep. Our desert is about 10 degrees cooler than where you are at. My vacations seem to fall on the 4th of July weekend. We went to GoldField,Bisbee,Tombstone,laughlin and Oatman during July.

I really like AZ and all the freedoms that are allowed there. But that may change :(
