[OPLINLIST] wind chill

[Nick Tepe]

100% yes to everything that has been said about staying open. Your staff
can and should make a judgment call for themselves if they are unable to
get to work due to the weather, but we're here to serve the public, and
especially when it's this cold out they will come to us to get warm. I'd
also point out that Eric and Michael aren't mean, but are in fact big
softies who are looking out for their patrons. ;-)
