The coldest section of the nation was the midwest. "Brutal," complained ABC's Eric Horng, complaining of the "howling winds" off the Great Lakes. He looked forward to the Bears-Packers Monday Night Football in Chicago where a crowd of 60,000 will watch the contest in a -5F wind chill. NBC's Peter Alexander, too, employed an NFL theme, showing the celebratory snow angel that earned a penalty for a touchdownscoring Patriot--although the usual copyright constrictions meant that image does not appear in Alexander's online videostream. That record New England blizzard has sent "snowplows and snowblowers into overdrive," Dave Price, the Early Show weathercaster told us on CBS. ABC's Neal Karlinsky boasted that it was only because of the "spikes attached to my boots" that he was able to climb an icy hill in Seattle. He showed us a municipal bus give up the struggle, rolling backwards out of trouble.
The Greyhound bus was the transportation service ABC's Karlinsky found at a standstill. CBS' Price focused on airline flight delays. Shut down Amtrak routes caught Alexander's attention on NBC. NBC rounded out its coverage with an Xmas forecast from Mark Seidel of the Weather Channel. No white Christmas for New York City or the California coast--just rain--and in Miami--just 82F.
