10 AM. ALTHOUGH THE WIND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE

ENOUGH WIND TO WARRANT ANOTHER WIND CHILL ADVISORY. YET ANOTHER
COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT WHICH COULD RESULT IN EITHER
ANOTHER WIND CHILL ADVISORY OR A CONTINUATION OF A PREEXISTING
ONE. SOME LIGHT SNOW IS ALSO POSSIBLE OVER THE WEEKEND WHICH COULD
IMPACT DRIVING AND OTHER OUTDOOR VENTURES.
WARMING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.
THEY COULD BE WARM ENOUGH TO CAUSE DAYTIME SNOW MELT WHICH COULD
THEN REFREEZE AT NIGHT...RESULTING IN POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS
DRIVING CONDITIONS.

WIND CHILL ADVISORY
Issue Date: 347 AM MST THU DEC 10 2009
Expiration: 1000 AM MST THU DEC 10 2009

...WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM MST TODAY...
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM MST TODAY.
* NORTHWEST WINDS OF 10 TO 15 MPH ALONG WITH CONTINUED BELOW
  AVERAGE TEMPERATURES WILL PRODUCE HAZARDOUS WIND CHILLS FOR MUCH
  OF THIS MORNING.
* WIND CHILL VALUES: 15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO TO 30 DEGREES BELOW
  ZERO.
* TIMING: DANGEROUS WIND CHILLS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THIS
  MORNING. WARMING TEMPERATURES BY LATE MORNING WILL BRING WIND
  CHILLS ABOVE ADVISORY CRITERIA...WARMER THAN 20 BELOW ZERO.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WIND WILL
COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST
BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. WIND
CHILLS OF 20 TO 40 BELOW CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE WITHIN 30 MINUTES.
LAYERS OF THIN CLOTHING ARE BETTER THAN A SINGLE THICK LAYER.
MITTENS ARE WARMER THAN GLOVES BECAUSE FINGERS MAINTAIN MORE
WARMTH WHEN THEY TOUCH EACH OTHER. A SCARF WORN OVER YOUR MOUTH
WILL PROTECT YOUR LUNGS FROM THE COLD. MOST BODY HEAT IS LOST
THROUGH THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD...THEREFORE A HEAD COVERING SHOULD BE
WORN...PREFERABLY ONE THAT COVERS YOUR EARS AS WELL. IF NOT...WEAR
EARMUFFS.
DO NOT FORGET YOUR PETS AS WIND CHILLS AFFECT ALL LIVING THINGS.
VERY YOUNG AND GERIATRIC PETS ARE AT HIGHER RISK...AS ARE THOSE
THAT HAVE PREEXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS SUCH AS POOR CIRCULATION.
HAVE AMPLE BLANKETS AND EXTRA CLOTHING IN YOUR VEHICLE IN THE
EVENT YOU BREAK DOWN.
