No more votes, please, the winner for best use of the cold wave goes to Patrick Sieve, who runs the Travelers Inn Restaurant in Alexandria, Minn.
Sieve went all "Jersey Boys" to try to get people to come to the place when everything in Minnesota ground to a halt this week.

It worked, the Alexandria Echo Press says. The joint was packed, at least before it closed early because of the cold.
