It is officially 2018 at my location (20 minutes in), and so we herby wish you all a Happy New Year. May the new year be a good one for you all, and may you make many new maps in the year to come.
I've still got 8 hours to go, but for all of you living in the future, happy New Year!...oh, and can you give me the winning Powerball Jackpot numbers please? :P
Just over an hour in for me - not normally on here this late, but got caught up in something else this evening online*, and only arrived on-site well after local midnight.
Indeed, a very Happy New Year to one and all!

Chicagoland woke up in 2018 to -10 °F. Makes me wonder about the weather near Monsen. I think he's about 20° north of me. On the other hand, we're also experiencing an arctic blast thanks to a friendly, passing polar vortex. At least I'm not on the East Coast (U.S.) where they're expected to get a bunch of snow.
They had all 4 of the county sand trucks ready to go incase their services of deicing bridges, etc. was needed. I'm sure just about anywhere in Illinois has many more than that.
edit: I'm sure my weather is spring for Monsen... I don't like cold weather, but I'm not camping out in it. I have, but I would rather not.
Climate is rather mild here, we rarely get extreme cold. We do get lots of rain (and sometimes snow) though, and summers are nothing to write home about, mild winters DO NOT equate to even reasonably hot summers.
I have visited relatives in Maine. They complained about the heat... at 70F in August. I lived in Texas at the time and August there is 110F, relative humdity is 20%. But they had snow every winter, and where I lived in Texas back then it rarely snowed. Sleet for a day or two was much more likely.

3.37 hours into 2018 right here and how
I looked at the fireball/bolide link.
I went to bed early and woke up at 1 AM local time. So I missed out on the celebrations. I'm sure I'll see them rerun on telly today.
