We are now joined by Centerfield, reporting live from downtown with more details on this developing story.
Thank you FK. I'm here on the corner of First and Main, and as you can see, the cold has spread to downtown as well. If you look behind me, you'll see that there are a number of things that are very cold. That utility pole, is certainly cold, as is the street light, over here to my right, if you can just pan over for a second. And if you look all around, you will see this white stuff known as snow, which is also very cold. Earlier, I spoke to locals about this cold.
Cut to pre-recorded clips of residents talking about the cold. Elderly black woman talks about another time when it was also cold. Well-dressed man on his way to work says he's just going about his day despite the cold. Working class guy blames the cold on the new mayor.
Cut back to CF, who, not knowing he is back on camera, gazes awkwardly into nothing, suddenly realizes he's back on, and continues report.
And Frayed, to compound matters, later tonight, we are supposed to experience periods of darkness that will increase as we get later into the night, but early reports are that the darkness will start to dissipate by tomorrow morning. One more note, city officials have asked that you not go outside unless it is absolutely necessary. By being outside, you are actually giving city workers more work, and can potentially put lives in danger. So, I repeat, do not go outside unless absolutely necessary.
