Remain safe though this deep freeze.

Frostbite happens when the skin and tissue right below the skin's surface freeze and can occur in just a few minutes on exposed skin, especially on fingers, toes, ears and the nose during extreme cold events.

The National Weather Service has a Wind Chill Advisory for our immediate area until 1pm tomorrow, Mon. 1/21, and warns:

THE VERY COLD WIND CHILLS COULD CAUSE FROSTBITE ON EXPOSED SKIN IN AS LITTLE 

AS 30 MINUTES.
