>Too Cold to Courier

>By Ken Speake

>When temperatures remain below zero during the day, those who work
>outside do their best to prepare.
>
>Karl Neher thought he was ready when he headed out into Friday's
>sub-zero temps. He was dressed in layers and wore his fleece balaclava
>over his face, "Y'know, this thing actually helps keep my breath warm."
>
>Karl Neher is a bicycle courier and process server in St. Paul and the
>work doesn't stop just because the temperature gets dangerously cold.
>
>His bike seems to hold up fine, though he isn't willing to push it, "
>I'm just gonna leave it in that gear because I'm pretty sure the
>derailler's frozen."
>
>Friday he had an IRS filing at the court house, papers to re-file
>
>John Hicks is an ER doctor at HCMC and he says guys like Neher need to
>be very careful, "We've certainly seen some very severe frostbite
>injuries over the past few days and a lot of minor ones."
>
>While Neher covered up as Dr. Hicks advised, wearing ski gloves with
>liners inside, he was still feeling the 23 below wind chill, "Losing
>feeling in my fingers, though. Good Lord! It is cold!"
>
>Neher had started the day figuring he'd prepared pretty well but the
>day changed his mind, "This is probably going to be my last winter
>doing this. This is crazy!"
