...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND BITTER WIND CHILLS MID WEEK...
AN ARCTIC FRONT WILL BRING THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON TO THE
REGION BEGINNING WEDNESDAY. TEMPERATURES WILL FALL DURING THE
DAY...REACHING THE LOWER TEENS BY LATE AFTERNOON. WEDNESDAY NIGHT
WILL BE THE COLDEST...AND PLAN ON LOWS AROUND ZERO DEGREES. THE
COMBINATION OF THE VERY COLD TEMPERATURES AND BRISK WINDS WILL
CREATE BITTER WIND CHILLS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY
MORNING AS LOW AS 5 TO 10 BELOW ZERO.
NOW IS THE TIME TO PREPARE FOR THESE COLD CONDITIONS. TAKE
PRECAUTIONS TO KEEP WATER PIPES FROM FREEZING. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
HEAT SOURCES PREPARED. MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR OUTDOOR ANIMALS.
CHECK ON FRIENDS AND FAMILY...ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO MAY HAVE
LIMITED HEAT SOURCES. FINALLY...DRESS PROPERLY FOR THE COLD AND
WEAR PLENTY OF LAYERS.
