I had to copy the latest weather advisory for our area. The cold has crept into our little apartment, that way we know it's cold outside. Our apartment is the bottom one and never gets cold. We're usually opening windows to let out the heat. Not today. As I sit and write, the current temperature is minus 4, and windchill minus 24.
WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 12 PM CST TUESDAY.
THE COMBINATION OF BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES AND GUSTY WINDS WILL RESULT IN DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS OF 20 BELOW ZERO OR COLDER. THE WIND CHILL MAY DIP DOWN IN THE RANGE OF 30 TO 36 BELOW ZERO...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR AND BECOME WIDESPREAD...A WIND CHILL WARNING WOULD BE NEEDED.
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND WIND WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS...RESULTING IN FROST BITE AND HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...DRESS IN LAYERS COVERING EXPOSED SKIN. FROSTBITE WILL OCCUR IN A FEW AS 10 MINUTES IN THESE CONDITIONS.
It's been a few minutes since Stephen went out to start the car for church... he's not back yet. I should probably check on that hypothermia warning for him. Hopefully he doesn't come back in with frostbite either.
