How cold? Unless you’re living under a rock, you know some of the coldest temps in a while are headed our way. That in mind, our friends at the Sun Herald hopped into the way-back machine today to remember the big Christmas-time freeze across the Gulf Coast area in 1989. Ice on the Bay of St. Louis? Say what? Fun stuff. And be sure to check back with NOLA.com for more coverage on the coming deep freeze. Remember to take care of those pipes. Clearview mall transformation: The huge redevelopment of the old Clearview shopping mall continues. Ochsner is putting the final touches on its new facility in the former Sears store there, and showed it off to our Stephanie Riegel. (The Ochsner facility is one piece of a larger project. Here's some previous coverage.) Want more business stories? Please sign up for our NOLA Business Insider newsletter. Refinery buyer? Another big story is emerging in Plaquemines Parish, where there appears to be a buyer for the shuttered Phillips 66 refinery. Here’s what we know about what it might now become. College signing day: It's a big day for college football teams as the signing period begins. Our sports coverage team is on the case. Dim sum, anyone? If Chinese food during the holidays is your thing, our dining out ace Ian McNulty has just the thing. You had us at dim sum!
