Details from the National Weather Service
- What
- Dangerously cold wind chills as low as 33 below.
- Where
- Portions of northern New York and central, northeast, northwest, and southern Vermont.
- When
- Until 1 in the afternoon this afternoon.
- Impacts
- The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 35 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes. Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause ruptured water pipes. This period of cold temperatures is particularly dangerous and well outside of typically experienced temperature conditions. Risk of hypothermia and frostbite is unusually high, especially for vulnerable populations like the elderly, children, those that do not have ready access to adequate heat, or are outdoors and not taking actions to mitigate these conditions.
- Additional details
- The coldest period will be around sunrise today, and just after sunset tonight.
