Overnight: Partly cloudy, with a low around -8. Wind chill values between -17 and -22. North wind between 5 and 10 mph.

Saturday: A slight chance of snow before 9am, then a chance for flurries before ending. Cloudy, with a high near 8. Wind chill values between -9 and -19. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm.

I think of you in the cold, dark northern morning and wish I could be still asleep in your bed. And I envy you the solitary quiet that blankets the plains. Burning the lights at 5 a.m. Then going outside and breathing cold air.
