East Aurora - -9

If you need to be outside today there are some things you need to do to keep yourself safe.

Dress in layers - That way you can take them off if you get too warm and add them back on when you cool off

Limit Your Time Outside - Frostbite can set in as quickly as 30 minutes when it is this cold. If you have to be outside make sure to take breaks and head back indoors to warm up.

Know the signs of frostbite - Knowing what to look for can save your life. Skin that looks waxy and cold is a sign. Loss of feeling in your fingers and toes is a sign

We will see a warm-up later this week, but in the meantime stay indoors if you can.
