WGN’s Nancy Loo reported Wednesday morning from bitter temps in Chicago, and she got right to the point.

“It’s dangerously cold, it’s about 5 degrees right now, wind chill about 15 to 20 below,” Loo reported. “Don’t be stupid. Back to you.”

Loo’s viewers, coworkers and fellow journalists liked her style.
