Cold Weather Safety Tips

The National Weather Service warns of dangerous cold through Tuesday morning next week and offers cold safety tips.  Of course, stay indoors, if possible, and remember to bring pets inside.  If you are outside, cover all exposed skin and limit the time you spend outside.  Check on elderly neighbors and family and make sure your carbon monoxide detector is in working order.
