THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY HAS CONTINUED THE WIND 
CHILL ADVISORY FOR THE SOUTHERN POCONOS AND LEHIGH VALLEY IN EASTERN 
PENNSYLVANIA AND FOR NORTHWESTERN NEW JERSEY FOR THIS AFTERNOON.

NORTHWEST WINDS OF 15 TO 25 MPH AND TEMPERATURES IN THE SINGLE

BE THIS MORNING. 

ALSO, PLEASE ENSURE THAT ANY PETS YOU KEEP OUTSIDE ARE PROTECTED FROM
THE WIND AND COLD. THEY SHOULD HAVE AT A MINIMUM A STRONG AND WELL
INSULATED SHELTER TO PROTECT THEM FROM THE WIND AND COLD AND ACCESS 
TO UNFROZEN WATER. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, BRING THEM INDOORS.
