The good news? We probably won’t have to worry about snow until at least the weekend.

The bad news? Parts of the state will reach -20 degrees tonight with the windchill.

Once again the temperatures will be taking a dip into the teens and lower throughout Connecticut.

Wind chill readings will reach as low as 20 below in some parts of the state. That strong of a wind chill can cause frostbite in just 30 minutes to exposed skin.

Want warmer temperatures? Head to Anchorage, AK where the temperature was a comparatively balmy 41 degrees with light rain Monday afternoon. In fact, high temperatures will be above freezing through Friday in the state known for polar bears and Sarah Palin.

And as you and kids head out in the morning the winds will have calmed but the frigid temperatures remain.
