THIS WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT THE COMBINATION OF VERY COLD AIR & STRONG WINDS WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY LOW WIND CHILL VALUES. LIMIT YOUR TIME OUT OF DOORS, IF POSSIBLE. KEEP PETS INDOORS, AS WELL.

IF YOU HAVE WATER PIPES WITHIN THE OUTER WALLS OF YOUR HOME MAKE SURE THAT YOUR THERMOSTAT IS SET HIGH ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM FROM FREEZING & YOU MAY WANT TO ALLOW A TRICKLE OF WATER TO RUN THROUGH YOUR FAUCETS. BOTH ACTIONS MAY PREVENT YOUR WATER PIPES FROM FREEZING & POSSIBLY BURSTING.

IF YOU ARE USING A SPACE HEATER, BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

CHECK YOUR CAR BATTERY & ANTIFREEZE TO AVOID GETTING STRANDED IN THE BITTER COLD.
