Bolt the door

Jan 14, 2009 \HAYWARD, Wis. (AP) -- Severe cold blamed for a death in northern Wisconsin is only expected to get more frigid, producing wind chills down to 40 or 50 below zero in the far north, before a warmup starts this weekend.

The cold claimed a victim in Sawyer County, where a 51-year-old sleepwalker died from exposure after wandering from his rural Hayward home early Tuesday. Deputies followed tracks of his bare feet for 190 yards through the snow to find him.

Dave Anderson, 66, who lives outside the city, said his thermometer dipped to minus 22. "It's winter. What the heck? There's not much you can do about it," he said.
