Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat.

Motorists should use extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary. Do not touch downed lines and report any power outages to your electric company.
