When Irving Berlin wrote “I’ve Been Dreaming of a White Christmas,” he mentioned sleigh bells and snow-covered tree tops and such, but he didn’t seem interested in summoning cold as f*ck temperatures — which is exactly what we’re getting this year. Millions of Americans are currently feeling the effects of a frigid winter storm with blizzard conditions, bitter cold, and a possible bomb cyclone — but not everyone is cheerful about the chilly weather, including this one endearingly grumpy news reporter. Mark Woodley, an Iowa sports anchor and news reporter with NBC affiliate KWWL, definitely isn’t vibing with this polar vortex, and it seems like the entire internet can relate.
“I tell you what, Ryan, I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news,” Woodley told his colleague as he stood out in the middle of the winter storm, reporting on the icy conditions at 3:30 a.m. Friday. “The good news is that I can still feel my face right now. The bad news is that I kind of wish I couldn’t.” Woodley, he noted on-air, usually does sports reporting, but with almost every event being canceled due to below freezing temps, he was called upon to brave the cold for some early morning weather reporting. He may have been frozen AF, but he had just about the best attitude anyone can expect from someone standing in -9 °F weather, as evidenced in a montage shared on Twitter.
