Temperature did drop to 14 degrees below zero, but has risen to 12 below zero. We got little to no snow here last night.
There is a wind chill advisory in effect until 11 am est this morning.
The NWS in burlington has issued a wind chill advisory for the champlain valley, as well as central and northern Vermont, which is in effect until 11 am est this morning.
Wind chill values in the 21 to 29 below zero range can be expected across the champlain valley and central and northern vermont through the late morning hours.
The combination of sharply falling temperatures across the area, readings at or below zero, and sustained winds of 10 to 15 mph with wind gusts in the 20 to 30 mph range will create the very low wind chills across much of Vermont this morning. Winds will gradually lessen this afternoon, but high temperatures will remain in the zero to 5 above range this afternoon.
Remember, wind chills of this magnitude will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
A wind chill advisory means that very cold air and strong winds will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors, make sure you wear a hat and gloves.

Roads are REAL fun. Water on ice.
I had to plan my route to work accordingly as I don't run studs.
I made it unscathed but many didn't.
That is only a 50F temp swing from last week.
They are predicting winds later today, "Along turnagain arm and the hillside...southeast wind 65 to 85 mph with gusts up to 105 mph in the afternoon."
I'll rig a sail to my jeep to conserve gas on my way home.
