Notes

> While -28 wind chill pales in comparison to -37 wind chill, -28 is nothing to feel badly about.
> Once again, I can only speculate that one must feel chagrined to live closest to the Arctic Circle & finish no better than 2nd.
> Knowing that Beatrice's weather conditions include 3" of fresh snow that fell from Saturday night into early Sunday, I was tempted to bump them up, but my crack team of Temp Consultants wouldn't hear of it.
> My nephew Kory is stationed at Great Lakes, IL, which is located on the beautiful but frigid shores of Lake Ice Berg. His wife Erose is celebrating her birthday today. Happy Birthday, Erose! This is a great honor!
> My daughter Rachel, her husband Derek, our grandson Derek, & their livestock live just a few miles outside of Norfolk in Woodland Park, so they are always included in Norfolk's rating. Congratulations, Broders!
