Furthermore it's cruel to be sitting in a warm place (didn't you mention you work for a power company to another poster?) telling people to suck it up because it's not that cold. I can tell you from working with the homeless shelter in Rapid City, SoDak that people die from exposure more often when the temps are in the 30's and 40's because it's 'just not that cold'.
I grew up in Oregon and lived in a house where it was not unusual to wake up with frost on the bedcovers, it was no fun when I was 8. In modern America, short of an act of God, why should any of us have to accept the conditions the Ingles lived with?
OK, OK. I take it all back. I hope no one else has to suffer during this latest Algore blizzard. But please don’t try and convince me that someone is going to die from exposure indoors when it is 28 outside. Outside, possibly.
