FEATURE-Cold U.S. weather crushes outdoor businesses in COVID-hit cities Reuters 12/22/2020
By Matthew Lavietes
NEW YORK, Dec 22 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Patios, marquees, plastic bubbles - makeshift outdoor spaces have become new staples for businesses across the United States, after city and state governments put limits on how many people could gather indoors to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The novel open-air areas created safe havens for city dwellers when the first round of coronavirus restrictions began to lift over the summer and gave many businesses a lifeline after months of shutdowns.
But, as temperatures plunge and people retreat back inside, some businesses that have come to rely heavily on their new outdoor spaces are finding themselves fighting for survival again - this time, in a battle with the weather.

The council has said it may have to cut its pioneering Eat for Free school meals scheme because it has become “unaffordable”.
Newham, which has the second highest level of child poverty in the country, is only one of a handful of local authorities to offer all children aged three to 11 a free hot lunch during term time regardless of family income.
However the borough has started a consultation on proposals to change the Eat for Free programme, in a bid to save £1.9million.
