@TheRetiredtrucker People are prepared. As a metter of fact low temperature is not a big deal there. Low temperature is also not the cause of those deaths - its just one of leading factors. Main reason of those deaths is alcohol abuse between homeless, alone and poor people during this cold weather. Alcohol abuse makes people insensible to frost and they die of hypothermia.
