Residents woke up to bitterly cold conditions Thursday, with wind chills making the air feel significantly colder than the actual temperature, according to weather sources.
At 2 a.m., wind chills were recorded at dangerously low levels, prompting officials to advise residents to take precautions against frostbite and hypothermia.
The cold snap is expected to continue through the day, with officials urging people to limit outdoor activities and dress warmly if they must go outside.
Meteorologists say the combination of low temperatures and strong winds is responsible for the extreme wind chills reported early this morning.
