Here in the armpit of Sandy Hook, NJ

The day started out mild, with a temperature of 57° F. around 10 or 11 AM. A massive cold front swept across the whole region, causing rain and dropping the temperatures. The rain started to include a few snowflakes before it stopped in the early afternoon, and the temperature was already down around freezing. The wind also got stronger (gusts up to 30 mph). Now, at 8 PM, the temperature is 28° F, with wind gusts up to 10 mph, producing a wind chill of 19° F. When I got done with my errands for the day, I walked into the house and discovered that the indoor temperature was only 69° F, which I wouldn't mind if it were hot outdoors. But it's a tadge chilly, so I had to turn up the thermostats, and now it's up to 73° F.
But this house is somewhat drafty, and I'm sort of freezing my arse off.

Well, I know you're not a member of the Jamaican Bobsled Team ;-) Stay warm yourself, m'dear - have a nice hot cuppa tea or hot buttered rum! I've got warm socks on, and I'm going to make something nice and spicy for dinner ;-) And I have to assume that the weather in Boston isn't much different from the weather within sight of the skyline of Manhattan.

Am on the other side of country, but I‘m currently wearing two sweaters and a scarf and I’m STILL a little cold. ⛄️

And it's the same weather system! That "polar vortex" they've been talking about for weeks.
