cold

Illinois is about to enter what will hopefully be the coldest part of winter over the next few days as the National Weather Service is warning of incoming wind chills that could reach 30 below zero.

Your furnace and/or your space heater is about to become your best friend and ally as the most widespread cold in a decade is about to descend on Missouri and it likely won't end quickly either.

Maps showing temperatures for the next 10 days make it look especially terrifying for Missouri even they don't mean exactly what many people think.

There's a polar vortex coming and there's nothing you can do to stop it. That's a true statement, but it's not nearly as dire as it sounds.

Once the calendar turns to 2025, it will feel like someone flicked a switch in Missouri and turned on brutal cold. There is now belief that the coldest air in decades could bring unusual snowstorms to Missouri, too.

We knew it was only a matter of time before temperatures in Missouri and Illinois start to feel more like winter.

The weather in Illinois cannot make up its mind if it wants to be mild or bone-chilling cold.

Much colder than normal conditions are expected to be impacting Illinois within a week.

I have two thoughts about what I'll admit is a funny way that a citizen of the British Isles just described the United States. Specifically, it's their one word description of Wisconsin that is both accurate (most of the time) and also a bit limiting.

Would you agree that it's gotten warmer earlier than it normally does in Missouri? Does that mean we've seen our last freeze for the season? According to history, don't put your tomato plants out just yet.
