Wild and wicked Midwest weather here today

At 7:00 this morning it was 63 degrees, tonight it is supposed to be 14 with a chance of snow. Oh, and the wind is unreal -
I have to make sure the fence is still intact before i let the dogs out. Trauma and drama all around.

I'm in Pittsburgh PA (a little too far east to be considered the Midwest) and we're having very gusty winds the past few days. It's in the mid-60's today and tomorrow, but we're supposed to go below freezing by Tuesday.

The wind gusts were so bad they almost blew my car door off. Also gusty winds were blowing down power lines all over the Northside. It was windy yesterday too but not quite as bad.

Even if we aren't getting snow in S.E. Ohio, the temperature is going to drop from 60 on Monday to 21 on Tuesday. Right now, it's 71 and feels like 71. It's been windy since Fri.

Stay safe!
