Escaped Prisoner Turns Himself In Because It's Too Cold

You know it's cold when an escaped prisoner calls the police to come get him because he's too damn cold. Robert Vick, 42, escaped from a minimum security facility in Lexington, KY on Sunday, but when the temperature dropped into the low single digits on Monday, Vick walked into a motel and asked the clerk to call police.

Wind chill temperatures were 20 below zero on Monday. So I'd say three hots and a cot looked a whole lot better than the frostbite he suffered.

STAY INSIDE

I just checked the weather here in The Ridge --

Temperature: 13 °F
Wind Chill -7 °F

My nipppleometer is broken but I think that's colder than Abe Betesh's heart. Stay inside!

BRR RIDGE

How cold was it today in The Ridge? So damn cold people were adding an extra syllable to the word "freezing" -- "fuhreezing!"

Right now Wunderground says it's 19.7 degrees. Add the ever present wind chill and it feels like 11 degrees. You know what it feels like to me? It feels like it's time to book my jetBlue ticket to Los Angeles asap. And jetblue is having a fantastic sale right now, by the by.

I'm a self-proclaimed winter-wuss. I fully admit it. I hated winter when I was growing up in NJ. I always dreamed of living in Los Angeles or any place where winter meant maybe putting on a sweatshirt. But here you have to bundle layer upon layer to face frigid mother nature with her piercing polar breath and then the second you step inside you have to strip faster than a sailor at Polly Adler's before you overheat.

And tomorrow is supposed to be even colder. I never thought I'd have to snuggle up to a witch's mammilla to keep warm but I suppose there's a first for everything.
