I had a chuckle the other day
I had a chuckle the other day when the local (Raleigh, NC) newscasters were warning of how to avoid frostbite ("can happen in 30 minutes!") because our temps were going down into the teens with negligible wind.
Now you folks in WNY and the bitter Northeast really have to be concerned.
