MISERABLE--It got mighty cold last week in our region and depending on where you live, you got an extreme cold, down to 11 degrees here, plus some snowy or some icy conditons, along with some bitter breezes, which made things even colder.

Of course, Monday morning had us back in a blanket of snow, and by the time you read this, they say we may be back to the...
