Wardrobe Recommendations

• Morning commute: insulated coat + warm mid-layer, and make sure your outer layer is wind-resistant.

• Mitts, a warm hat, and a neck gaiter/scarf are important today—and close to essential tonight with wind chills near -30.

• Insulated boots with traction: refreeze is common when nights are this clear and cold.

• If you’re out late: limit time outside, and watch for early frostbite signs (numbness, stinging, pale or waxy skin).

Weather Trivia

Clear winter nights are often the coldest ones. When skies clear and winds ease, the ground loses heat quickly—temperatures can drop fast even without new snow. That’s why tonight’s clear forecast lines up with the sharp overnight low.
