cold

The thaw may be slow in coming.

State parks officials say that three people have died in the last two months in Idaho after falling from boats into frigid waters.

Winter is Coming

BOISE, Idaho (KLIX) The American Red Cross in Boise is offering some tips to be prepared for the next batch of cold winter weather in Idaho.

You can take a bunch of vitamins, get your flu shot, drink Emergen C and you will still get sick when it's 2 degrees outside.

My father always told me to make the best first impression was to walk right up to someone, look them in the eye and give them a firm handshake. Usually good advice, except during cold and flu season.

The ice bucket challenge has been running wild like my kids at WalMart - it's everywhere! And I think it is great. Whether everyone donates or not - the videos are raising money and a ton of awareness about ALS.

I think the cold weather has finally gotten to all of us, including this four-year-old, who has a special request -- for Jesus.

So - the groundhog saw his shadow and we are in for another 6 weeks of winter. But rather than be sad about the cold, you should be happy because all that shivering you will do could help you lose weight! How many calories does shivering burn?

We have been pretty lucky so far this winter - since we don't live in the North East and haven't had to deal with a Polar Vortex! We haven't had sub-zero temperatures or even very many days of frosted windows. So how cold is it really in America?

Despite the accidents that could happen - kids (and many adults) still love going into to great white wilderness to play.

Now that the groundhog has seen his shadow and there will be a few more weeks of winter, it is time to get the most out of the nice days when they come along. My kids are a great example of this.
