Watch: What happens when you ask a sports reporter to present weather

United States Mark Woodley KWWL Arctic Canada Mexico

Watch this amusing moment when a sports presenter is asked to report on blustery weather conditions in US which could see temperatures dip to -25 degrees celsius. Mark Woodley, who presents a half hour sports show on KWWL, was asked to step in after all sporting events were cancelled. Temperatures may drop as low as -45C in parts of North America this week, which is cold enough for experts to warn exposure could lead to frostbite developing in five to ten minutes. An Arctic winter storm is currently striking the US and Canada with thousands of flights cancelled while 135 million have been affected by a weather warning - which reaches down as far as Mexico. North Americans are braced for their coldest Christmas in decades. The National Weather Service has said temperatures could be cold enough to cause frostbite.

We now know what a brain looks like on psilocybin – but what does that tell us?
Many studies have suggested that psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, might be useful in treating a variety of mental health conditions.
