...WIND CHILL WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN LOWERED...
...COLD WEATHER TO CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT...
 
TEMPERATURES HAVE RECOVERED AS THE CORE OF THE ARCTIC AIR MASS HAS 
MOVED EAST. THEREFORE ALL WIND CHILL WARNINGS AND ADVISORIES HAVE 
EXPIRED. BUT IT WILL REMAIN UNSEASONABLY COLD THROUGH TONIGHT WITH 
WIND CHILL FACTORS BELOW ZERO IN MANY LOCATIONS, BUT NOT LOW ENOUGH 
TO CONTINUE ADVISORIES OR WARNINGS.

PLEASE CONTINUE TO EXERCISE GOOD COMMON SENSE FOR THE REST OF TODAY
AND TONIGHT AND DRESS APPROPRIATELY FOR THE WEATHER. WEAR PLENTY OF
LAYERS AND STAY INDOORS IF POSSIBLE. IF TRAVELING, MAKE SURE YOUR
VEHICLE HAS PLENTY OF GAS AND BRING ALONG SOME EXTRA CLOTHES OR
BLANKETS IN THE EVENT THE VEHICLE BREAKS DOWN. BRING YOUR CELL PHONE
IF YOU HAVE ONE. UNTREATED ROADS WILL BE HAZARDOUS. EVEN TREATED
ROADS MAY BE SLIPPERY AS SALT LOSES ITS EFFECTIVENESS AT LOWER
TEMPERATURES. IN ADDITION, THE STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO CAUSE
DRIFTING SNOW. BE WARY OF CHANGING ROAD CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN
GOING AROUND CURVES WITH LIMITED VISIBILITY.  WIND CHILL NOT ONLY
AFFECTS THE EXPOSED SKIN OF HUMANS, IT ALSO AFFECTS THE EXPOSED SKIN
OF ANIMALS. IF POSSIBLE, BRING OUTDOOR PETS INSIDE OR AT LEAST
SHELTER THEM FROM THE WIND. WIND CHILL TEMPERATURES, OR THE APPARENT
PERCEPTION OF TEMPERATURE, OCCURS WHEN HEAT IS CARRIED AWAY FROM THE
BODY. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WIND CHILL SAFETY AND OTHER RELATED
WINTER WEATHER TOPICS, VISIT OUR WEB SITE AT 
WWW.NWS.NOAA.GOV/OM/BROCHURES/WNTRSTM.HTM (LOWER CASE).

SOME RELIEF IS STILL EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND AS TEMPERATURES MODERATE 
SLIGHTLY.
