The Huntsville Times said:
With temperatures in Birmingham expected to dropped to 20° overnight Monday -- the lowest temperature thus far in 2016 -- the place where the city's homeless usually go to seek shelter from the cold was unavailable.

Boutwell Auditorium, typically used as a warming station in such situations, was not available Monday night because presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders spoke to a crowd of thousands. Factoring in wind chill, it was expected to feel more like 15° on the streets of Birmingham.

Last week, the auditorium housed about 300 people a night when it served as a warming station for three nights.
