Mark Memmott has an
NPR article about the weather:
As Mom would say: bundle up. If you go outside today, just about anywhere from North Dakota east and south through the upper Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and up into New England, it's freezing.
The frigid temperatures continue. They're making headlines in Minneapolis, in Cleveland, in Buffalo, and many other places. There was a reading of -35 degrees Fahrenheit at Crane Lake, Minnesota. The wind chill plunged to -42 degrees in Ironwood, Michigan.
There isn't much relief expected until the weekend. Our friends at Minnesota Public Radio, for instance, say it could "warm" up all the way to thirty degrees in their region "by Sunday or Monday". Still, the National Weather Service warns that "dangerously cold temperatures are expected to remain in place" until then for the the states in the grip of this cold snap. The freezing temperatures appear to have played a role in at least four deaths so far, The Associated Press says. Two were in Illinois, one was in Minnesota, and the fourth was in Wisconsin.
Rico says he's mentioned it often enough, but it bears repeating: he
hates the cold. (And
fuck the polar bears; bring on global warming...)
