On a frigid Friday morning with temperatures starting around 25 below zero with wind chills of 50 below we discuss the weather. Not only is it cold now it will stay that way for the next week. Plus, tips on how to stay safe in the cold.
We are joined by Paul Michlig to discuss/argue the Brewers' trade of Freddy Peralta, the potential trade of Giannis by the Bucks, the Badger men's basketball team's win streak and Marquette basketball's struggles.

Finally, some news on Ian's audition and potential role in the next Wausau Community Theatre show and the Number of the Day quiz.
