I know a lot of y'all have much colder and bitter temperatures than Nashville, but here's the forecast for my area. Old, unusable sheets
have been pulled out of a drawer to cover the bushes in front of my
house. Bitter winds are expected from the northwest and my house
faces north, so I don't want to have any damaged plants like I did
this past summer from December 2022 subfreezing temperatures
and the wind.

I would imagine that if your humidity is high, it will seem almost
as cold as it is here.
I will probably lose my thyme plant. I've successfully overwintered it
for 7 or 8 years by covering it with a thick blanket of snow. but this
year, much of it thawed and the cover may well be insufficient.

We missed most of the nastiness that had been forecast. The temperature
had remained above freezing so all the snow that they had warned us
about turned into rain.
This morning the temperature started sliding
down and the wind picked up. It's only fallen to -3 but the winds have
been gusting at 80-90 kph. Daytime temps for the next week are supposed
to be -8 to -10 and we may get a couple cms of snow each day.
That's livable for January.

Third week of January is always cold. I don't know why people
have their panties in such a bunch. For the clicks, I suppose.
It may be a little optimistic, but the forecast for the 23rd is
a high of 38 F. Just like clockwork: a week of bitterly cold
weather followed by more average conditions.

woke up to winter. It is -10C and very windy. We had some snow
yesterday and I am going to have to go out and clean it up. It's a
good thing I finally got around to checking my snow blower the
other day.

The famous January Thaw. About 5 years ago my friend and I rode out motorcycles to Niagara on the Lake for lunch on Jan. 25. It was about 16C.

Our forecast for the coming week is similar in Ohio. Saturday the 20th
will be a chilly 18/12 Fahrenheit. Hopefully it's all up from there. I bumped up the boiler to 65 degrees, but my toes are still cold.

I don't blame you. I have been in -40 and it's really unpleasant.
There is nothing good to be said about it.
An emergency call went out late yesterday afternoon to reduce power consumption as Alberta was close to imposing brown-outs. It came on my
cell phone with that screaming/squawking sound.
Almost immediately, power consumption dropped 100MW and within minutes another 100MW.

girlfriend and her son?
It was 60, up to 65 now. The problem is that I still haven't messed
with trying to insulate the drafts. Doing laundry in the chilly cellar
was miserable today. The bedrooms upstairs are warmer -- nearly 70.
Nearly 70's room temperature.
Her son has never seen snow before, so he was very excited for an inch
the other morning. I speculate that he'll be entirely sick of it by the
end of winter.
I don't remember ever getting sick of snow as a kid.

They lived along the southern Maryland coast, and he never saw snow
before, aside from a light dusting. It never stuck. Now, there's at
least 4-5 inches outside. Brr! He had fun playing in it, but it was
"too much snow" once he got too cold.
