The combination of the dry arctic air, low temperatures and wind will make for dangerous conditions to be outdoors without proper cloth- ing in the northern states. Bands of heavy snow downwind of the Great Lakes will shift northward as an Alberta Clipper spreads a swath of mainly light snow eastward over the Upper Midwest. The area from coastal Maine to Florida and northeast- ern Texas will be dry and sunny. Warmth will hold in the West.

Too cool for school in many parts of the country. And so cold in the Minne- sota-St. Paul area that you could get frostbite in less time than it takes to buy car insurance. At least the Northeast isn't getting clobbered with snow the way it was this time last year. A look at the blast of dan- gerously cold weather that is dropping temperatures into the single digits and sending wind-chill read- ings below zero, even in the Deep South: Watchthosefingers and toes! With wind chills plung- ing into the minus-30s to the minus-50s across Min- nesota on Wednesday, Dr. Ryan Fey of the Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis warned that serious frostbite injuries can happen in 10 minutes or less. Wet gloves, socks or boots speed up the pro- cess. So do smoking and medical conditions that cause poor circulation, such as diabetes. And the thinner skin of el- derly people and children makes them more vulner- able, he said. College student Jordan Harrell, 23, wore a stock- ing cap and pulled his coat up around his neck as he walked to work in down- town Minneapolis. "I have wool socks on, so that's nice. And that's ba- sically how I prepare. And then, you know, just have a tough mentality," he said. "It's a Minnesota tough mentality." You have no class The arctic chill prompted school closings or delayed openings from Alabama to the Dakotas. Many school systems de- cided to wait for tempera- tures to warm up a little be- fore making children stand outside and wait for their buses. They also hoped to avoid overtaxing school heating systems and allow more time for buses to start running. Wind-chill readings be- low zero were forecast in such places as Alabama and in Asheville, North Carolina, along with a wide swath of the Midwest and the Plains. In the Birmingham, Al- abama, area, Jefferson County School Superinten- dent Craig Pouncey warned that the buses are vulnera- ble when the mercury falls to 20 or lower. "Our buses still are pretty dependable about cranking, but sometimes the mois- ture in the air brakes may freeze, so we've got to be conscious of that," Pouncey told AL.com. As for warming up your own car, police in Omaha, Nebraska, are warning peo- ple not to leave their vehi- cles running unattended. Police told KMTV that 13 vehicles that had been left running were reported sto- len in an eight-hour span Tuesday morning. Hey, it could be worse Temperatures are ex- pected to drop to zero or be- low in southern New Eng- land and to 7 above in New York City, with wind chills getting into the minus 20s in some places. But little or no snow is forecast for most of the Northeast. And to think: Around this time last year, parts of the region were digging out from 2 feet of snow accom- panied by brutal polar air. In fact, this season's snowfall totals are way down from last year, one of the snowiest seasons on re- cord. Last year, places like Philadelphia, New York and Boston all got around 5 feet from December through February, or about 1½ to 2½ feet above nor- mal. This year, they've only seen a few inches of snow since Dec. 1. Western New York is another story, however. The Buffalo area that got slammed with more than 7 feet of snow in November saw another foot of snow on Tuesday, with more ex- pected Wednesday. Still, the snow-free cold was no day at the beach. "It's uncomfortable. I hate it. I can't wait for spring," Rosalie Kahler said with a laugh in Albany, New York, where temperatures were expected to drop to single digits by sunset.
