Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A wind chill warning 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 or death 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.

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow means that

visibilities will be limited due to a combination of falling and

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

areas.
