On coldest night of 2016, Birmingham's homeless warming station used for Sanders rally
With temperatures in Birmingham expected to dropped to 20 overnight -- the lowest temperature thus far in 2016 -- the place where the city's homeless usually go to seek shelter from the cold is unavailable.
Boutwell Auditorium, typically used as a warming station in such situations, is not available tonight because presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is speaking to a large audience. Factoring in wind chill, it might feel more like 15 degrees on the streets of Birmingham tonight.
Last week, the auditorium housed about 300 people a night when it served as a warming station for three nights.

I don't know about the rest of you, but it's ****ing cold here. It's so cold, my dog refuses to go outside.
