As we are coming to the end to the first month of the New Year, we would like to remind everyone of some safety tips while out in these cold temperatures.

The National Weather Service has the following tips for dealing with the Extreme Cold:

1. Minimize travel.
2. Stay indoors during the worst part of the extreme cold.
3. Keep a winter survival kit in your vehicle if you must travel.
4. Check tire pressure, antifreeze levels, heater/defroster, etc.
5. Learn how to shut off water valves for potential pipe bursts.
6. Check on the elderly.
7. Bring pets inside.

How Should I Dress?
1. Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing, and a hat.
2. Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves.
3. Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold.
4. Try to stay dry and out of the wind.
