Seemingly lost, these drivers drove their big rigs across Third Street this afternoon after barely making the turn from Cherry Street.

I took this pic today, when the temperatures were more, well, temperate. It must have been all of 25° out.
But try taking pics on a single-digit day, and you’ll find that the term “bone-chilling” is not just metaphorical.
