A reminder that the pharmacy is closed today due to the observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Please stay safe amid the bitter temperatures. Take extra safety measures when going outside or traveling.

Wind Chill
The National Weather Service defines a "Wind Chill Advisory" for wind chills of -15 to ‑24 degrees Fahrenheit. In this temperature range, exposed skin can develop frostbite in 15 to 30 minutes. A "Wind Chill Warning" will be called for situations of wind chills below -25 degrees Fahrenheit. Exposed skin can become frostbitten in as little as ten minutes.

How to Dress During Cold Weather

❄️ Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing. Trapped air between the layers will insulate the body. Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent and hooded.

❄️ Wear a hat because 40 percent of your body heat can be lost from your head.

❄️ Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold.

❄️ Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves.

❄️ Try to stay dry and out of the wind.


What is Wind Chill Temperature?
The wind chill temperature is how cold people and animals feel when outside. Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold. As the wind increases, it draws heat from the body, driving down skin temperatures and eventually the internal body temperature. Therefore, the wind makes it feel much colder.

What is Hypothermia?
Hypothermia is abnormally low body temperature (below 95 degrees F). Warning signs include: uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. Medical attention is needed immediately. If it is not available, begin warming the body slowly.

What is Frostbite?
Frostbite is an injury to the body when your body tissue freezes. The most susceptible parts of the body are the extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes or the tip of the nose. Symptoms include a loss of feeling in the extremity and a white or pale appearance. Medical attention is needed immediately for frostbite. The area should be slowly re-warmed.
