Subzero low temperatures predicted beginning Saturday   When tow truck driver Jeff Senica of Senica Interstate Towing is called out to retrieve a vehicle this weekend from a rural location, there will be nowhere to hide from the below-zero temperatures. He’ll have to brave them. That comes with the job. Over the years, however, he’s developed a strategy for staying warm while working in the frigid cold. “Everybody knows you wear lots of layers,” said Senica, who works at the La Salle-based towing company. With low temperatures predicted to fall below zero and wind chills as low as -20 degrees beginning Saturday and into next week, Senica will be ready.
