I am gene lavanchy. Opinion is and i am sara underwood. And there is no other way around it. I am so sorry. It is downright cold out there and believe it or not, we will be back in the 60s today though. Meteorologist shiri spear has a look at the slow warmup.

We will tell you when it gets real cold with freezin
