5. Weather: Well, the temperature is going to go to 11 today. And while that’s a good thing for an amplifier’s volume, it’s not a good thing on a thermometer. Get those down jackets, hats, scarves, gloves, mittens and anything else you can find to cover your extremities. It’s really cold out there.
