								If 
								you don't have to go out the next two days then 
								don't. The wind chill factors are going to be at 
								dangerous levels and frostbite can occur in 
								about 10 minutes. While it's good to say, just 
								stay in, for many of us that is not a practical 
								solution to beating the cold. We have to go out, 
								it's not an option. So, now is the time when the 
								term "dress for success" means dress to stay 
								warm and avoid injury.
 During extreme cold conditions multiple layers 
								top and bottom, heavy waterproof boots, hats, 
								and something covering your face is essential.
 
 Please take care out there, and remember to look 
								out for your neighbors, especially the elderly, 
								and pets.
 
 Additionally, if you need supplemental heat 
								inside your home, use extreme caution with space 
								heaters. Avoid placing heaters close to curtains 
								or furniture. Keep children and pets at a safe 
								distance, and never leave a space heater 
								unattended.
