SNOW THROUGH THE MORNING WITH REDUCED VISIBILITIES AT TIMES.
ARCTIC AIR COMBINED WITH THE WIND WILL CAUSE WIND CHILL READINGS
BETWEEN 25 BELOW AND 35 BELOW INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN
FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. 
IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND
GLOVES.
