IE: NOT climate change.

"Wind alerts are in effect for a large part of the Northeast, including the cities of New York and Boston, where wind gusts could reach 45 mph Friday morning. Downed trees, downed power lines, flight delays and rail delays will be possible Friday in the Northeast.Greta Scold-i-locks is unavailable to lie about it.
Behind this storm, the cold air is surging across the entire Central U.S. Wind chills Friday morning are in the 20s even in parts of Oklahoma and Texas. Atlanta even has a wind chill of 26 Friday morning.
In Chicago and Green Bay, wind chills are in the teens. In Ohio Thursday, people were likely in short-sleeved shirts with temperatures in the 60s; on Friday morning, winter jackets are out as wind chills are in the 20s.
