1. WHETHER THE WEATHER IS HOT…..NOT.  BE PREPARED FOR WINTER WEATHER IN ALL ITS FORMS

 

“As I type this message, most of the state is under a Wind Chill Advisory, except the mountains and foothills which are under a Wind Chill Warning, both through 9am on Saturday 1/30.  Three different districts are holding Klondike Derbies this weekend.  If your unit is participating in one of them, please be sure to have your scouts use the buddy system to keep an eye on each other and that they are  properly dressed for the weather.  A WC Advisory means that the wind chill will be as low as -29F.  A WC Warning means the wind chill will be as low as -39F.  Exposed skin will freeze very quickly in such temperatures.  Have fun, but please keep safe!”  Many thanks to Scott Bernier from K-Valley District
