severe weather alert
the following is an actual weather report, taken from yahoo:
...Bitterly cold wind chill temperatures...
Very cold temperatures along with brisk Northwesterly winds will
create bitter cold conditions across the tri-state area overnight.
wind chill readings will Drop below Zero across most of the local
area.
The Mercury will Bottom out between 10 and 15 above in New York city
and in the single digits elsewhere. Northwest winds will create wind
chill readings as low as Zero to 5 below in New York city...5 To 10
below in the suburbs and around 10 below across inland areas.
When venturing outside...Make sure to dress in several warm dry
layers. It is very important to keep your head...Hands...And feet
covered to avoid frostbite. Frostbite can occur when flesh is
exposed to these wind chill values for a time. The first sign of
frostbite is a numbness of the flesh. Then...Watch for Bright red
patches that Turn White or Grey.
You don't get many weather reports that include the phrase "numbness of the flesh" in california.
4 years living in la jolla has definitely turned me into a candy-ass gibroni. Oh, btw... it's the coldest january here
since 1992
