Brr....It's so colder than cold and not good for a person to be out long in the freezing temperatures. Winnebago and Boone County have both opened several warming centers for individuals to get out of these cold temperatures and warm up.
The full-blown cold of winter is not upon us yet, but local officials are grabbing a head start by getting out information about warming centers around the area.
