Baby, it's c-c-cold outside

It’s minus 6 degrees in Spokane this morning, so I’m calling local emergency rooms to hear about frostbite, hypothermia and fractures caused by slipping on the ice.

On the Web, I came across this recent press release from the National Institute on Aging about the risk for older folks of getting too cold inside the house when they turn down the thermostat to save money on heating bills.

And, for the brave at heart, here are photos of frostbite on the feet.
