Too cold for outdoor crime
The cops always love it when we have a good cold spell because crime always goes down! The only arrests they make are the guys wanting to get inside out of the cold.

I agree with most of what AK103K said except the wind chill part. I've worked outside when it was -10F but when the wind was blowing (off Lake Erie) that -10F became -50F, BIG difference! Try spending 8 hours outside in that. It can be done but it's a lot more difficult because exposed skin will freeze real quick. It's impossible to NOT wear gloves in temperatures of -50F whether it's actual temperature or wind chill temperature. Right now it's 12F and the wind chill temp is 3F w/10mph winds. Yesterday it was 6F with wind gusts up to 65mph, that's dangerous.

16 days and counting I'm going to sunny Florida!
