Waiting for warmth - People gather outside the city’s cold weather shelter last Friday before its 7 p.m. opening. The shelter at the Annie Giles Community Resource Center went into operation on Nov. 1 for the first time this fall as cold air sent nighttime temperatures plummeting into the 30s all weekend. The Shockoe Valley shelter across from the Richmond Justice Center is expected to be open nightly through next week as Richmond turns icy. Nighttime lows are forecast to be in the frigid 20s and 30s through at least Thursday, Nov. 14, and possibly longer as winter approaches.
