-The New Year is bringing snow and arctic cold air that will impact Wisconsin the next few days.Ready Wisconsin provided the latest information on weather conditions and tips to keep you and your family safe.
Beware bitter temperatures. Arctic air has moved in across the state creating dangerously cold wind chills. If you're re traveling make sure you have a winter emergency kit in your vehicle. There is an increased risk of frostbite and hypothermia. You should also be aware of Carbon Monoxide poisoning when using various heating devices.
Finally, while our pets might seem to have built-in, warm winter coats, they too are sensitive to the elements so make sure you keep them warm. You can find more info at Ready Wisconsin's website.
