Winter Weather Sends Arctic Lows East, South

Freezing Temps Hit the Nation

The cold has also snapped water main lines in Wisconsin, causing headaches for utility workers.

"We're working basically 24 hours a day with broken mains," Milwaukee Public Works employee Dave Goldapp told the AP.

For some, like Jeff Plant of Colonie, N.Y., the extreme weather suits him just fine.

"I'm a cold weather fan," he told the AP as he sat in a coffee shop in Albany, N.Y. "I like to see some cold weather in the winter." He said later he planned to go for a walk "to get some sun."

Lamar Woodley, linebacker for the Pittsburg Steelers, does more than walk in the freezing temperatures.

"It's tough to work in these types of conditions -- snow, might be a little rain, wind coming off the river," Woodley told "Good Morning America."

Then he smiled. "We love this kind of weather. It's football weather here."
