Year starts with record cold in Midwest
MILWAUKEE (AP) —
Bone-chilling cold gripped
much of the central U.S.
as 2018 began Monday,
breaking century-old records,
icing over some New Year’s
celebrations and leading to at
least two deaths attributed to
exposure to the elements.
The National Weather
Service issued wind chill
advisories covering a vast
area from South Texas to
Canada and from Montana
and Wyoming through New
England. Dangerously low
temperatures
enveloped
much of the Midwest, yet
didn’t deter hundreds of
people from ringing in the
new year by jumping into
Lake Michigan.
Despite
sub-freezing
temperatures and a warning
of potential hypothermia
from the local fire chief,
throngs of people took part
in the annual tradition in
Milwaukee, warming up
later with chili or heat from a
beach fire pit.
A similar event was
canceled from the Chicago
lakefront, where the tempera-
ture dipped below zero as
thick white steam rose from
the lake Monday morning.
Organizers said the arctic
blast made jumping into the
lake too dangerous.
“I’m not happy about
it. But I was down by the
lake and, gosh, if you were
dropped in there, it’d take you
10 minutes to get out,” Jeff
Coggins, who helped orga-
nize the thwarted Chicago
event, told WBBM-TV.
Instead,
would-be
Chicago plungers had their
pictures taken while jumping
on the frozen beach — in
their swimsuits.
Temperatures
plunged
below zero elsewhere in the
Midwest, including in Aber-
deen, South Dakota, where
the mercury dropped to a
record-breaking minus 32
(-36 Celsius). The previous
New Year’s Day record had
stood for 99 years.
In Nebraska, tempera-
tures hit 15 below zero (-26
Celsius) before midnight
Sunday in Omaha, breaking
a record low dating to 1884.
Omaha officials cited the
forecast in postponing the
18th annual New Year’s Eve
Fireworks Spectacular that
draws around 30,000 people.

NORTHWEST BRIEFLY
Judge rejects settlement for man
fatally shot by police
PASCO, Wash. (AP) — The family of a man shot to
death after throwing rocks at police can’t agree on who
should receive a $750,000 settlement.
So, the Tri-City Herald reports , a judge has
rejected the offer and placed the civil case on hold for
four months while the lawyers of Antonio Zambra-
no-Montes’ family work out an agreement.
Court documents say Zambrano-Montes died in
February 2015 after officers shot at him 17 times.
Zambrano-Montes, who was high on methamphet-
amine, was throwing rocks at police and passing cars.
An autopsy found he was shot five to seven times.
The lawsuit was filed against the city of Pasco, the
Pasco Police Department, Chief Bob Metzger and
officers Ryan Flanagan, Adam Wright and Adrian
Alaniz.
It is not clear in court documents who will pay the
settlement.

Northwest storm
knocks out power,
causes crashes
John Fitzhugh/The Sun Herald via AP)/The Sun Herald via AP
Icicles hang from the fountain at Beau View condomini-
ums in Biloxi, Miss., on Monday. A hard freeze hit South
Mississippi overnight and temperatures are expected to
remain near or below freezing for the rest of the week.
It was colder in Des
Moines, where city officials
closed a downtown outdoor
ice skating plaza and said
it wouldn’t reopen until the
city emerged from sub-zero
temperatures. The tempera-
ture hit 20 below zero (-29
Celsius) early Monday, with
the wind chill dipping to
negative 31 degrees (-35
Celsius).
In northeastern Montana,
the wind chill readings
dipped as low as minus 58
(-50 Celsius). And in Duluth,
Minnesota, a city known
for its bitter cold winters,
the wind chill dipped to 36
below zero (-38 Celsius).
Plunging
overnight
temperatures
in
Texas
brought rare snow flurries as
far south as Austin, and acci-
dents racked up on icy roads
across the state. In the central
Texas city of Abilene, the
local police chief said more
than three dozen vehicle
crashes were reported in 24
hours.
It’s even cold in the
Deep South, a region more
accustomed to brief bursts
of arctic air than night after
night below zero. Frozen
pipes and dead car batteries
were concerns from Loui-
siana to Georgia as overnight
temperatures in the teens
were predicted across the
region by Monday night.
The Milwaukee County
Medical Examiner’s office
said two bodies found
Sunday showed signs of
hypothermia. They included
a man in his 50s found on
the ground in an alley and a
34-year-old man.
SEATTLE (AP) A winter
storm moving through the
Pacific Northwest knocked
out power in parts of Wash-
ington and caused multiple
collisions.
Puget Sound Energy said
crews are working to restore
power in Whatcom County
in northwestern Washington
state on Saturday after an ice
storm brought down poles
and power lines and coated
roads with ice. The company
is warning people to never
touch downed power lines.
The company said 45,000
customers lost power at the
peak of the ice storm.
The Whatcom County
Sheriff’s Office said emergency
crews had to pull back overnight
as it was too dangerous to be on
slick roads as trees and power
poles toppled.
State
officials
also
say icy conditions led to
multiple crashes involving
tractor-trailers that closed
eastbound Interstate 84 for
about six hours.
Tom
Strandberg,
spokesman for the Oregon
Department of Transportation,
said the agency has advised
motorists blocked by closures
to wait in a safe location and
not follow GPS navigation
devices that might direct them
off main roads that may not be
passable during winter.
TOPPENISH, Wash. (AP) — An 87-year-old
Yakima County woman who was reported missing by
her family has been found dead.
Police in Toppenish said Sunday afternoon that
Mary Shattuck likely died of prolonged exposure to
hazardous weather conditions and foul play was not
suspected. According to local news reports, she was
found dead in her Subaru Forester near Mabton.
Police had issued a silver alert for Shattuck last
week. She was last seen at her doctor’s office in
Toppenish.
Teen dies of gunshot wound in
apparent Russian roulette game
SHERWOOD (AP) — Police in the Portland suburb
of Sherwood say a teen boy has died of a gunshot wound
and investigators believe he may have been playing a
game of Russian roulette.
Sherwood Police Captain Ty Hanlon says the boy died
early Monday morning at a mobile home in Sherwood.
The teen was dead by the time emergency responders
arrived.
KOIN-TV reports that based on witness interviews,
police believe that the teen showed up to the mobile home
with gun and fatally shot himself while playing Russian
roulette.
