Pratt Tribune
Temperatures in Pratt dipped to -12 Fahrenheit early Monday, February 15, breaking an 85-year record for cold, according to Richard Lowe, meteorologist at U.S. Weather Service Dodge City. But for long-time Pratt resident Mike McFall, it was just another day to take his dog, Teddy, for a walk in the park. McFall, like most of Pratt, seemed to be taking the artic cold-snap in stride.
“We’ve walked a mile or so together here every day for the last seven years,” McFall said. “Counld’t miss today because of a little cold. When Teddy’s paws get cold I just pick him up and carry him a bit, brush off his paws and we keep going. He loves it out here.”
