The snow and sleet will come to an end by Monday afternoon. At that point temperatures will plummet as a strong northwest wind picks up. For this reason a Wind Chill Advisories and warnings are in effect with forecast wind-chills expected to be as low as -10!
Here are a few things to remember with this arctic blast:
- Wear layers, a hat, gloves and keep warm. Hypothermia and frostbite are possible if exposed to the cold for too long unprotected.
