As a rule, our winters are not very severe. Not a lot of snow. It gets chilly but not that bad and not that long. At the moment, though, we have an exception.
I'm going to sound like a weather weenie to our friends up north but we got a bunch of snow yesterday. Last night through tomorrow we've got the coldest temperatures the central and eastern US have seen in maybe 20 years. The TV weather reporters, always trying to whip up a frenzy, keep referring to it as an arctic vortex. (Whatever that means. Sounds scary.) It has not been below 0F/-18C here in 15 years. I think it got to -9F/-23C last night and should reach -11F/-24C tonight.
The region was shut down on Sunday. I got these pictures in a park a short distance from my home.

I'm not sure that running in those kind of temperatures is good for you...
Keep calm and stay warm!

That looks a bit cold. Time to head out and get a real Winter view of the Gateway arch perhaps?
Looks very cold . Here it is now +14° C also not normal for January.
I saw last night that the falling temps heading your way today. Wear your gloves and headgear.
Bob, I have been following the weather since in the Midwest. It is getting pretty cold around here as well. Love that couple of shots!
What's not normal Bob, the guy taking his dog for a jog or you being out there to take the shot :)So you're freezing and here in Perth from Friday we're having a heatwave 40C and over, the world is MAD!!
Stay warm!!!! Mother Nature does like to keep us on our toes!!!
That is one hardy dog walker! I just saw your mayor on the PBS News hour talking about the cold and the huge amount of snow. I hope you are staying warm.
Two terrific photos, Bob. I might lean toward the first one, with just the man and dog, leaving the context more ambiguous.
Stay warm. That temperature is brutal. So brutal I am not even going to make my usual jokes about it.
Fabulous images to show us the incredible weather you are having. I heard on the news that in some places it has gotten down to -46c!
Dogs seem to love a run in the snow! Stay warm and dress in all the clothes you own!
Wow, great pair of photos.
Great action shots.
Looks very very COLD!
