reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.

Persons should consider delaying all weekend travel. Motorists
should use extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.

electric company. Travel is highly discouraged due to slick roadways
and the possibility of downed trees and power lines.
