In other news...here is the current weather advisory (the temperature is -12):
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM CST TUESDAY.Of course, the university hasn't cancelled classes for Monday. As much as I love winter, this seems like dangerous weather for students to be walking around outside. I know that cancelling classes is a big decision, but doesn't this count as extreme weather conditions?
BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES AND WINDS OF 5 TO 15 MPH AT NIGHT...AND 10 TO 20 MPH DURING THE DAY WILL CAUSE FREQUENT DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS INTO TUESDAY MORNING. WIND CHILLS WILL FREQUENTLY BE BETWEEN 20 AND 35 DEGREES BELOW ZERO.
WHEN IT IS THIS COLD...BE SURE YOUR VEHICLES FUEL TANK IS AT LEAST HALF FULL...AND THE BATTERY IS CHARGED. DO NOT TOUCH METAL SURFACES WITH UNCOVERED HANDS. YOUR SKIN MAY FREEZE ON CONTACT.
Oh well, maybe I'm just getting old and overly cautious.
