We’re under another wind chill advisory in the St. Louis area through tomorrow morning. Tonight’s low is forecast to be about one degree. We are expecting one more day of temperatures below freezing before our thermometer hits a forecast high of 34 degrees on Sunday. Before the temperature goes above freezing, however, the forecast says there is an 80 percent chance that Sunday morning will bring “snow, sleet, and rain, possibly mixed with freezing rain.”
As Ted and I were driving this afternoon, we were amazed to see that, in spite of the fact that the temperature hasn’t been above freezing in the past 12 days, a fountain is still spewing water upward. When plumbers drive by this ice cone, do they flinch?
The top of the cone is liquid water, still spouting upward.
I can’t help mentioning that, right now, it’s 15 degrees in St. Peters, with a wind chill effect of -7 degrees. In Honolulu, it’s 75 degrees. No wind chill. Let me add that our boarding passes are already printed.
