blowing snow. Use caution when traveling... especially in open
areas.

A Wind Chill Advisory means the combination of very cold air and
gusty winds will create dangerously low wind chill values. This
will result in frost bite or lead to hypothermia if precautions
are not taken. If you must go outside dress in layers... and keep
all your skin and your head covered. Protect livestock from the
cold and bring your pets inside.
