Be Careful Out There, St. Anthony


Not that I probably need to reinforce this, but it is brutally cold out today.  Cold enough to be dangerous, in some cases.

You may think that fatalities do not occur due to cold, but they in fact can and do:

I realize that the above case happened in "Brrrrmidji", where the temperatures are often ten degrees (or more) colder than even here, but once you get to a certain point, "cold is cold", so to speak.

Of course, you could also take the opposite approach:

Polar Plunge

Nothing like jumping into a frozen lake to cheer you up, right?!

Seriously, though...try not to get caught out in the cold today.
