Many areas experienced their lowest wind chills of the season early Tuesday morning, according to weather reports. The extreme cold caused wind chills to dip well below freezing, making outdoor conditions feel significantly colder than the actual temperature.
Officials advise residents to take precautions against frostbite and hypothermia if venturing outside. The cold snap is expected to continue through the week, with temperatures gradually warming later in the day.
Forecasters recommend staying updated with local weather alerts and dressing warmly to stay safe during these frigid conditions.
