Baby...it's cold outside!
Publisher's note: As my most of my readers are aware, The Patriots Press is published from somewhere in the bowels of the Heaven on Earth known as Palm Beach County. While most of the rest of the country is frost and snow bound, we are enjoying relatively balmy conditions. We are however very much concerned for those experiencing what very well could be record setting, life threatening temperatures and we pray for the safety and well being of all those affected, especially those poor souls that have found themselves homeless with nowhere to turn.
In that light, I ask that my readers do whatever they can, even in a small way to help anyone they come across that may be without shelter.
Fox News: SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Icy, snow-covered roads and high winds made travel treacherous Sunday from the Dakotas and Michigan to Missouri as much of the nation braced for the next winter wallop: a dangerous cold that could break records.
A whirlpool of frigid, dense air known as a "polar vortex" was expected to suppress temperatures in more than half of the continental U.S. starting into Monday and Tuesday, with wind chill warnings stretching from Montana to Alabama.
It was 5 degrees at kickoff Sunday afternoon inside sold-out Lambeau Field for a playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers, one of the coldest ever played.
"We suited up, we brought all the snowboarding gear we use ... and added to it," said 49ers fan Jeff Giardinelli of Fresno, Calif. "Without the wind, which isn't here yet, we're good. When it gets windy, we'll be ready for it."
