WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT SKIN EXPOSURE. IF YOU GO OUTSIDE AND GO BACK IN FOR A FEW MINUTES, FIREFIGHTERS CANNOT DO THAT. SHEREE: THEY ARE WORKING OVERTIME RIGHT NOW WITH EVERYTHING GOING ON. SO MANY ACCIDENTS THEY ARE RESPONDING TO AND OTHER EMERGENCIES. KEVIN: YOU WALK OUT AND IT IS DECEPTIVE. THE FIRST MINUTE, YOU DO NOT DELETE. ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT HITS YOU. IT IS REALLY COLD OUT HERE. THAT IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSE BECAUSE WE ARE DEALING WITH LIFE THREATENING COLD. IT IS GOING TO CONTINUE INTO CHRISTMAS EVE. HERE IS FEEL LIKE TEMPERATURES. IT 26 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. IT WAS WORTH EARLIER THIS MORNING. -- WORSE EARLIER THIS MORNING. WHEN SHOW RANGE FROM 15 TO 30 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. IT IS COLD ACROSS THE AREA. 25 DEGREES BELOW ZERO IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE NOW. MEMORABLE HISTORIC STORM. WE HAD ALMOST A 40 DEGREES TEMPERATURE DROP IN SIX HOURS, WE SET A RECORD. AT 8:00 WE WERE 41, BY 2:00 A.M., WE WERE DOWN TO TWO. CHECK OUT THE SNOWFALL TOTALS. WIDESPREAD 2-4, WE WERE THINKING SOMEONE MADE TOP OUT AT FIVE, WE HAD 5.2 IN CINCINNATI. IT WAS HARD TO MEASURE. A HISTORIC STORM. OUR FIRST BLIZZARD IN MANY YEARS. WE HAD A RECORD DROP IN TEMPERATURES. IF YOU ARE UP EARLY THIS MORNING, THE COLDEST WINDCHILL SINCE JANUARY 1994. COLDEST WINDCHILL IN DECADES. IT FELT LIKE -36 THIS MORNING. HERE IS A LIVE LOOK AT THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE. YOU CAN SEE THE WIND DRIVING THE OHIO RIVER. YOU CAN SEE THE RIVER STEAM CLUE ON THE OHIO BECAUSE OF THE COLD -- SUSTAINED WIND 20 MILES PER HOUR. EVERYONE IS BELOW ZERO RANGING FROM TWO BELOW IN SPRINGS BOROUGH. MOST OF US A HANDFUL OF DEGREES IN NEGATIVE. THAT’S WHERE WE STAYED THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT. TEMPERATURES REMAIN BELOW ZERO WITH FEEL LIKE TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO STAY FROM 20-30 BELOW FOR THE NIGHT. AND THE ROADS ARE BAD NOW AND I DO NOT EXPECT IMPROVEMENTS OVERNIGHT. I DO THINK THEY GET BETTER TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT AROUND 10. IT MAY BE A GLIMPSE AT THE SUN BUT I THINK IT IS MOSTLY CLOUDY. WHEN SHOW STAY DANGEROUSLY LOW TOMORROW. THERE WILL BE 10 DEGREES BELOW ZERO THROUGHOUT THE DAY. TOMORROW EVENING 5-10 BELOW ZERO AND AS YOU WAKE UP CHRISTMAS MORNING, WHEN SHOW STILL RUNNING 10-15 BELOW ZERO. IF LITTLE ONE GETS A NEW BIKE, CAR, THEY ARE NOT TAKING IT OUTSIDE OF CHRISTMAS DAY. EARLY AFTERNOON ON CHRISTMAS DAY, IT WILL FEEL LIKE IT IS ABOVE FREEZING. THE WEATHER IS SELF IS PRETTY QUIET ASIDE FROM THE COLD. WE STAY MOSTLY CLOUDY TOMORROW BUT ON CHRISTMAS DAY WE WILL GRADUALLY WORK OUR WAY INTO SUNSHINE BY AFTERNOON. WE WILL CLIMB OUT OF THE DEEP FREEZE. TWO BELOW TONIGHT AND IT WILL FEEL LIKE 20 BELOW. TOMORROW 10-20 BELOW WITH A HIGH OF 10. BEFORE YOU GET EXCITED ABOUT THE TEMPERATURES GOING UP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, CHRISTMAS DAY IS QUIET, BUT I AM WATCHING OUR NEXT SNOW MAKER AND IT LOOKS TO BRING LIGHT ACCUMULATION TO THE AREA STARTING MONDAY MORNING. IT IS A WEATHER IMPACT DAY. LOOK AT THE TEMPERATURE IS. AFTER MONDAY AND TUESDAY WE MAY MAKE IT INTO 60 THREE SHERE
