SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
1230 PM EST MON JAN 27 2003

...WINDY AND VERY COLD AROUND THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON...

NORTHERLY WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH WILL COMBINE 
WITH TEMPERATURES 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL FOR LATE JANUARY TO CAUSE 
UNCOMFORTABLY COLD CONDITIONS AROUND THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. 
WIND CHILLS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME REACHING ZERO OVER MUCH OF THE 
LEHIGH VALLEY...AND THEY WILL STRUGGLE TO REACH DOUBLE DIGITS OVER 
FAR SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...SOUTHERN DELAWARE AND CENTRAL PORTIONS OF 
THE MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE. LOCATIONS IN BETWEEN WILL SEE WIND 
CHILLS PEAK IN THE SINGLE DIGITS. 

PLAN TO DRESS WARMLY IF YOU WILL BE HEADING OUTDOORS THIS AFTERNOON. 
MOST BODY HEAT IS LOST THROUGH THE HEAD AND THE EXTREMETIES...SO IN 
MAKING SURE THAT YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES ARE ALL COVERED UP...BE 
CERTAIN YOU ALL WEAR HATS...GLOVES OR MITTENS AND WARM FOOTWARE. 
REMEMBER THAT CHILDREN ARE VERY SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE COLD. 

ALSO...PLEASE BE SURE THAT ANY PETS CONFINED TO THE OUTDOORS HAVE 
ACCESS TO A WARM PLACE THAT IS SHELTERED FROM THE COLD AND WIND. 
ALSO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE ACCESS TO UNFROZEN WATER. THE MOST HUMANE 
THING TO DO IS TO BRING THEM INDOORS. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION...YOU CAN ACCESS THE NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE ON THE INTERNET AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS...
