(Outside Reading #25) Frostbite

I read an article called "Shoveling leads to frostbite for Minneapolis man" on kare11.com. The article was about a man named Tony that was shoveling tuesday morning with sub zero temperatures outside. Problem was, Tony wasn't wearing any gloves because he couldn't afford him for himself. He had to make sure his kids had gloves so he didn't buy himself any. The metro area emergency rooms have been busy with patients coming in about related injuries like frostbite and hypothermia. The winter is supposed to get even colder so doctors are recommending to bundle up good. I think Tony is a really good father and shows that he cares a lot about his children. Especially in these harsh weather conditions, caring for his children and making sure they have the proper clothing on shows that he is a great parent. I can relate because when I went outside this morning immediately my hands became cold and i realized how fast someone could get frostbite. In the end Tony said: "can't wait for summer!" what can i say? i totally agree.
