A wind advisory and cold weather advisory are in effect for Carbon and Monroe Counties in Pennsylvania until 10 AM EST on Sunday and 1 AM EST on Monday, respectively. The wind advisory includes north winds of 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, which can cause trees to fall and power outages. The cold weather advisory warns of very cold wind chills as low as 19 below zero, which can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes. Frostbite and hypothermia can occur if unprotected skin is exposed to these temperatures. Precautionary actions include using extra caution while driving, especially for high-profile vehicles, wearing appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves, keeping pets indoors, and making frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. It is also important to ensure portable heaters are used correctly and not to use generators or grills inside.
