Not too far from me.
ouch, now this. The good news is I am just of the map in the upper right so yellow, or 40 mph winds. Add that to sub zero means I will only go outside to fetch more firewood stacked right outside the door.

Forty three (43) degrees and drizzling!
I'm loading up on inside firewood today too!! 65° right now, cold front #1 is here, the real one on the way! We will be in the 50's during the days, 30's at night! Going to drain my pool pump and equipment today!
We need to leave the spruce outside. If we bring it in, the fly larvae will hatch due to the warm cabin. Learned this the first winter in Alaska! So we stack a days worth right outside the door.
I have to watch out for bringing spiders, lizards, and snakes in with the firewood this time of the year!
Tornado warnings in parts of Louisiana!! Reports from the front line???
Heard about those too.
It's far up above us but @zannej may be under a warning.
Partly sunny but very windy for us now.
Hope we hear from her!!
We are under high wind warnings thru tomorrow. As high as 80 in the mountains. Gonna make fighting the fires around here a challenge for sure. Expecting rain to start overnight. The sooner the better
Bad weather expected by 9pm. Tornado and/or thunderstorm watches predicted. Hopefully i'll get about an inch of badly needed rain. Looks like i'll be up late watching the weather radar though. 
The coldest I've experienced was in the -20's
Not fun...

That wind can really blow coming down off the Knik glacier.

I've seen -100 ambient in Antarctica at the South Pole. I never want to see anything near that temp again.
Yesterday we had a few inches of snow and 33 degs for a high. That's enough for me in mid November.
Southwest. It's supposed to be rough around 10-12 tonight. Just windy right now. Thanks for checking on me @Supervisor42 and @Pearl !
Some of the good Mat-Su valley folks live where they can get hit by winds from both the Knik glacier and the Matanuska glacier. Sometimes at the same time. Nothing like 70-80 MPH winds coming from different directions competing with each other. About a 90 degree difference in direction, more or less depending on where one lives.
So far it’s been a nothing burger. It’s warmed up to 6 degrees from a -9 this morning and the winds are only gusting up to 15-20 mph. I hear parts of the Mat-Su are getting pounded as predicted with widespread power outages. But snug as a bug in a rug on my mountain.
High overcast.. Dark as the inside of a cow..
Temps to dip over the late week and weekend...
Moving from the upper 40s F to the low 30s F during this time..
No mention of snow and such...... so far.... Knock on wood..

It has been close to 60 and sunny the last few days, around 20 at night.
I am south west mississippi
I am thinking snappy and I are close to one other but not sure
Very loud boom boom.
And rain
Tornados spotted and we are under an alert
The wind worries me because I have several 100’ pine trees and oaks around my home

Rainy night, nadoes staying well south of me, thankfully. Down in south mississippi, @snappy1 @Frodo , keep us posted. 
Supposed to get winds later, straight line stuff. According to the weather man the really bad winds will be north in the tn valley (@Supervisor42 ). Hang on @Swing !

Heavy rain, gale force winds, and low overcast. The wife's flight overheaded so she is spending the night in Seattle and will try again tomorrow.
