Wind chill advisory issued

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Tuesday, February 19, 2008 - 3:10 p.m.

The National Weather Service in Milwaukee has issued a wind chill advisory, which is in effect from midnight tonight to 10:00 a.m. Wednesday.

Bitterly cold air entrenched over the region will combine with developing northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph, to produce dangerous wind chills of 20 to 30 below zero later tonight through Wednesday morning.

A wind chill advisory is issued when the combination of very cold air temperatures, and winds of 10 mph or greater, will create hazardous wind chill values of between 20 below to 34 below zero for 3 hours or longer. These conditions will result in frost bite, and could lead to hypothermia, if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors, wear several layers of clothing. If clothes become wet, they should be changed for dry ones.

Wonder if there will be another cold day for the schools? Would hate to have to have kids walk to school in 34 below zero weather.
