Go to: [http://forecast.weather.gov](http://forecast.weather.gov) Enter your location, then Hourly Weather Forecast on the right side of the page then Forward Two Days. Find the 12 am temperature on January 1. For me the forecast is 14 degrees below zero! Needless to say I won’t be outside celebrating. ---
