Awakened By the Wind

The 'big bad wolf'' has arrived. Yes, the Arctic front has made a loud, resounding entrance, huffing and puffing and at least trying to blow the house down. No, really. I heard things outside popping and cracking.

We had several instances during the past half hour of winds gusting to at least 40 mph. I would not be surprised if gusts of 50 mph were achieved. But, that is just an estimate on my part.

Temperatures are tanking. Looking at area observations at 3:00 a.m., Louisville Int'l has dropped from 46 to 33 degrees during the past hour. It's still 45 in Frankfort. However, Covington is at 23 and Indy at 13, with wind chill values below zero.

I think Louisville will feel those below zero wind chill values in just a few hours.

What a shock to the senses, after yesterday's relative warmth.
