The next few days are going to be very cold, with temperatures at or below freezing in the Manchester by the Sea area. The coldest times are going to be Thursday night into Friday morning. Please remember to follow these tips from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency:
- Minimize outdoor activities for the whole family, including pets.
- If outside, dress in several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight clothing instead of a single heavy layer. Outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellent. Wear a hat, mittens (not gloves) and sturdy waterproof boots to protect your extremities. Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs.
- Be a good neighbor. Check with elderly or disabled relatives and neighbors to ensure their safety.
- Make sure carbon monoxide and smoke detectors are functioning properly
Have a Happy Holiday, Stay Safe, and STAY WARM!
