94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The National Weather Service in Louisville is reminding Kentuckians to be “weather ready” for all types of potential winter weather hazards during Kentucky Winter Weather Awareness Week, which runs now through Saturday as a reminder of the many different hazards and impacts winter weather can bring to the region. The NWS in Louisville says residents can look to the office to issue advisories, watches, and warnings on winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, and snow squalls.
The NWS says with cold air comes the potential for frostbite and hypothermia. Dress in layers and cover up exposed skin when heading out after the temperature drops. Know the signs of frostbite and hypothermia and actions to take if you suspect somebody is suffering from either condition.
Remember: “ice and snow, take it slow.” If you will be driving in winter weather, make sure to clear off your vehicle before heading out. Keep it slow, as roads can be slick even if they just look wet. Leave extra distance between vehicles, and especially leave space for snow plows.
You can help the weather service keep track of winter weather by submitting reports on measurements of snow, ice, and rain. These measurements assist meteorologists as they monitor trends and fine-tune forecasts.
