Potential Cold ImpactsSource: (NWS Binghamton)

• Potential Cold Impacts • Frozen pipes could become a significant problem. • Dead car batteries could strand people. • Any power outages that occur (weather related or not) could leave

people without heat. • People may improperly use secondary sources of heat; increasing

chances for Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. • Structure fires could escalate. • Frostbite/hypothermia. • Ice jams could become a problem again.

Extreme Cold Tips Source: (NWS Binghamton)

• Extreme Cold Safety Tips General Information • Minimize travel if possible. • Stay indoors during the worst part of the extreme cold. • Keep a winter survival kit in your vehicle if you must travel. • Check tire pressure, antifreeze levels, heater/defroster, etc. • Learn how to shut off water valves for potential pipe bursts. • Check on the elderly. • Bring pets inside. How Should I Dress? • Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing. • Wear a hat, because 40% of your body heat can be lost from your head. • Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold. • Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves. • Try to stay dry and out of the wind. • For more information visit http://www.ready.gov/winter-weather • For information about Wind Chill, charts and calculator visit http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/windchill/
