Next Polar Plunge Could Be Winter's Coldest

Care should also be taken to ensure that livestock and other animals housed outdoors have adequate shelter.

Especially across the Midwest and Northeast, officials may decide to cancel or delay school due to the extreme cold. Some vehicles may struggle or fail to start for motorists.

I would love to tar and feather Al Gore, Michael Mann and their like and run them out of town on a rail. Their heartless (and clueless) agenda of chasing after political power has unintended consequences that they do not comprehend -- how many deaths are on their souls all because they wanted to bask in the political limelight...
