This is what it read when I got into the car this morning.
-1.
You read it right, that's one below zero.

AccuWeather does something called a RealFeel temperature. I'm not sure what that means, but I know this.
It's really cold.
AccuWeather says the temperature outside at 5 a.m. was 3 degrees, but the RealFeel is actually -19. We're headed to a high of 21 degrees today with snow arriving about 11 p.m.
At least the wind is expected to die down a bit. It was howling yesterday with gusts recorded across the region of 50 mph. High winds toppled a huge oak tree that slammed through a family's home in Newtown Square. Micraculously, no one was injured.
