Another Bone-Chilling Night - And A Radar Tool For You

Get ready for the cold! Hopefully your parka is ready to be worn, or at least some sort of thick jacket and gloves and several hats and scarves... We're going to be closing in on the zero degree mark tonight.

This was a webcam image from the intersection of I-29 and 41st Street in Sioux Falls. It was from just before 6pm, and it was cold already! It even looks cold in this picture... Make sure you are ready for temperatures closing in on zero or even below. It wouldn't surprise me to see a couple reports of 2 or 3 degrees *below* zero for low temperatures.

Radar Stuff...

I was poking around online and found a new site to test out (it is a test site itself, so be warned). It's a radar site with some sort of realistic map background that has the radar on top of it, with tornado warnings and the like on top of that (see screen shot below) and can be found at www.zoomradar.com:

Looks interesting, so if you try it out you can let me know your thoughts. Take care if you're driving tonight anywhere, and get ready for that cold!
