ALERT: National Weather Service issues wind chill advisory

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The National Weather Service in Indianapolis has issued a wind chill WARNING which is in effect from midnight tonight to 1 p.m. EST Friday (Jan. 16). A wind chill warning means the combination of very cold air and strong winds will create dangerously low wind chill values. This will result in frostbite and lead to hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken. Bitter cold air ushered in on gusty winds is forecasted for Wednesday night and to remain into Friday. Wind chills of 20 below zero to 30 below zero are expected to occur. The university is monitoring the weather and urges all students, faculty and staff to do so as well. Watch the Purdue home page for updates, including potential decisions about classes. Everyone should dress appropriately for these conditions and review their winter preparation procedures.

말로만 듣던 그 무서운 추위가 왔구나.
저번에도 이런 경고가 없었음에도 정말 추웠는데...
휴강이나 됐으면 좋겠다~
