Instructions:

A Winter Storm Warning for snow means that heavy snowfall of
6 inches or more is expected. The rapid accumulation of snow will
make travel extremely difficult, if not impossible. If travel is
necessary, make sure to exercise extreme caution. Begin your
travel with a full tank of gas, and carry a winter storm kit
which includes a shovel, flashlight, cellphone, food and water,
and blankets of extra warm clothing.

A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chill values. This will result
in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not
taken. If you must venture outdoors, make sure you wear a hat and
gloves, making sure all exposed skin is covered.
