If it were 10 degrees below zero and it went to 14 degrees below zero in an hour..... then it went from 14 to 16 degrees below zero in the next hour......... I'd say it was getting worse....... unless you like to freeze your *ss off!

We could have fun with this all day!

Now having Jesse Jackson or Michael Moore in any area, proclaiming anything, would be worse!
