Cold Weather Warnings Issued

With another day of dangerous cold across our region, warnings to bundle up and protect yourself if you have to go out doors.

Emergency room doctor Jeffrey Sather says when it gets this cold, frostbite is a possibility and you can develop a freeze burn.

With prolonged exposure, the risk moves to hypothermia, where one's core body temperature actually drops and can lead to confusion, unconsciousness and even death.
