We like to have a little fun and bitch and moan about the cold, but - sadly - there is an extremely unfortunate downside to the cold. The Cook County medical examiner's office has already reported four deaths that are at least partly related to the winter's cold. While a few of the deaths were primarily caused by other factors, autopsies showed that the deaths were aided by exposure to the cold, including one Tuesday night in which a woman fell outside her home. Please bundle up, everyone.
