We have a pretty decent blow going to added to the cold. I suggest that people venturing outside today be sure to take note of the temperatures and prepare yourself accordingly. Expose skin and frost bite will become good friends inside of 5 minutes at these temps and if you have circulatory issues that time frame will be considerably less. Be careful out there ya'll.
