I must say that I respect how @KirkCousins8 has handled being benched. I’m using him as a perfect example of how to handle adversity and how to be a leader on and off the field. Much respect to you Kirk.

These temperatures are no joke this morning. Bundle up as you head out the door. Wind chill values through the day will range between -20°F and -40°F even into the afternoon. Actual air temperatures are likely to only be near 0° for your Thursday. #mtweather

The snow is primarily done, but the roads are slick and snow-packed this morning. Expect highs today to stay in the teens and for snow and ice to plague your commute! Please use caution as you head out and leave some extra braking room between you and the next vehicle.

Hypothermia warning signs or signs of getting old? Chet said this morning he had 4 of the 5 signs of hypothermia... and I routinely have confusion, difficulty speaking, and sleepiness. In all seriousness, this weather is dangerous and we need to pay attention

Too bad there wasn’t a combine last year… would’ve hit a 4.20-4.19 most likely… probably… maybe… you never know.

Here is something that you don't see very often. Nearly 90% of the country dealing with snow. Snow in south Texas? Why not? What else could the last year throw at us!

Arctic Air is on the way! Be ready to bundle up for Super Bowl Sunday!

[Matt Elwell @mtweathermatt]

The usual suspects dealing with wind this morning. Mix in a little light snow with gusty winds and we have a recipe for low visibility despite limited accumulation across the region. Be safe as you head out the door today!

[Matt Elwell @mtweathermatt]
