* WHAT...Dangerously cold wind chills of 20 to 40 below expected. * WHERE...All of northern New York and much of Vermont. * WHEN...From 7 PM Friday to 1 PM EST Saturday. * IMPACTS...Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes. This period of cold temperatures is particularly dangerous and well outside of typically experienced temperature conditions. Risk of hypothermia and frostbite is unusually high, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly, children, those that do not have ready access to adequate heat, or are outdoors and not taking actions to mitigate these conditions.

Keep pets indoors as much as possible. Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a hat will keep you from losing your body heat. Plan on staying in a location with adequate heating and limit you time outdoors. Do not use portable kerosene heaters or other unventilated combustion heating sources indoors. This may lead to death from carbon monoxide poisoning or cause a fire. Ensure mitigating actions are being taken, especially for vulnerable populations.
