Just how cold is it in Kentucky? Apparently cold enough for an escaped prisoner to decide to turn himself in.
美国肯塔基州的天气有多冷?答案是已经冷到让越狱囚犯决定自首回监狱了。

Authorities say the inmate escaped from a minimum security facility in Lexington on Sunday. As temperatures dropped into the low single digits Monday, officials say the man walked into a motel and asked the clerk to call police.
