Last time I did this on a blog it was for a typhoon... bit different this time around...
NEW YORK (MANHATTAN)-BRONX-RICHMOND (STATEN ISLAND)- KINGS (BROOKLYN)- QUEENS- 415 AM EST WED FEB 14 2007
...WIND CHILLS AT OR BELOW ZERO EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY NIGHT...
WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE FIRST SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM OF THE SEASON...BITTERLY COLD TEMPERATURES ALONG WITH STRONG WINDS WILL RETURN TO THE AREA. WINDS TONIGHT WILL BE INCREASING TO 25 TO 35 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 50 MPH. COMBINED WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE MID TEENS...THIS WILL CREATE WIND CHILL VALUES RANGING FROM ZERO TO 5 BELOW ZERO THROUGHOUT NEW YORK CITY. THOUGH WINDS DIMINISH TO 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH THURSDAY NIGHT...OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE LOWER TEENS WILL ONCE AGAIN CREATE WIND CHILL VALUES FROM ZERO TO 5 BELOW THROUGHOUT NEW YORK CITY.
EXPOSURE TO COLD CAN CAUSE LIFE THREATENING HEALTH CONDITIONS. AVOID SERIOUS CONDITIONS SUCH AS FROSTBITE AND HYPOTHERMIA BY KEEPING WARM. IF YOU MUST GO OUTSIDE...WEAR LAYERED CLOTHING... MITTENS OR GLOVES...AND A HAT. COVER YOUR MOUTH TO PROTECT YOUR LUNGS FROM EXTREMELY COLD AIR. STAY DRY AND CHANGE WET CLOTHING TO PREVENT LOSS OF BODY HEAT. AVOID BEVERAGES CONTAINING ALCOHOL AND CAFFEINE...AS THEY HASTEN THE EFFECTS OF COLD ON THE BODY. IF YOU OR A PERSON YOU SUSPECT IS SUFFERING FROM FROSTBITE OR HYPOTHERMIA...SEEK MEDICAL HELP IMMEDIATELY OR CALL 911.
