It’s so cold that . . .
1. It’s colder than MARS. The high on Mars on Monday was -5!
2. It’s too cold to break the law. The police in Priceville, Alabama and Noblesville, Indiana have both BANNED CRIME. They put out messages saying it’s just too damn cold for you to do anything illegal.
3. It’s too cold to TALK. In the US The National Weather Service advised people in the Midwest, quote, “to protect your lungs from severely cold air, avoid taking deep breaths [and] minimize talking.”
4. It’s cold enough that the term “instant frostbite” is getting thrown around. At negative temperatures with high wind chills, it’s possible to get frostbite in just five to 10 minutes outside.
