As the recent theme has been extreme cold 🥶, here’s a reminder of the forecast for today through 10 AM tomorrow. Temperatures will remain in the single digits, but wind chills will be dangerously cold at -30 degrees.
https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=PAZ037&warncounty=PAC117&firewxzone=PAZ037&local_place1=Mansfield%20PA&product1=Extreme+Cold+Warning&lat=41.8072&lon=-77.0732

It's hard to miss that it's ❄️🌡out there! With this in mind, please see the message below from our friends with CU Health Services .

‼️Exposure to extreme cold can cause frostbite within 5-10 minutes and life-threatening within 30 minutes.

📋 Here’s what you can do:

❌ Don’t walk alone! Walking alone in extreme cold, especially while intoxicated, significantly increases the risk of injury, disorientation, and medical emergencies.
🚱 Avoid excessive drinking. Alcohol increases heat loss and can mask signs of hypothermia—making cold exposure much more dangerous than usual.
⏰ Limit time outside and stay dry. Frostbite and hypothermia can happen very quickly in extreme cold and wet clothes cause rapid heat loss.
🏂 Layer up and cover skin. Wear warm layers, hats, gloves, scarves, and waterproof shoes. Cover exposed skin.
📖 Know the warning signs of hypothermia and get help immediately: uncontrollable shivering, numbness, irregular heartbeat, slurred speech, confusion, or extreme fatigue.
📖 Know the warning signs of frostbite: cold/pale skin, feeling of pins and needles or burning, numbness or blistering, muscle/joint stiffness, or feeling of hard skin.

🚨If you or someone else needs emergency assistance, 📲 contact 🚔University Police by calling 911 right away. Please look out for yourself and each other.

♨️Stay warm and stay safe!
