You will need to layer up the next few days as the coldest polar vortex this winter dives deeper into the Midwest. After the cold weather advisory expires at noon on Monday, another one could take its place later this evening. The overnight low is expected to hit -2 degrees with the windchill potentially making it feel as cold as -30. For those people who need a break from the cold temperatures, The Door County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) and all of the Door County Library’s branches are used as warming centers during normal business hours. Door County Emergency Management Director Jeb Saelens says there are resources available to those who need assistance during the overnight hours.
Saelens recommends limiting your time outdoors, dressing in multiple layers, and trying to cover as much exposed skin as possible. Depending on how cold it can get, frostbite can occur in as little as 30 minutes. You will get relief later in the week when temperatures head into the 20s beginning on Wednesday and potentially as high as 35 degrees on Sunday.
