An Extreme Cold Watch is also in effect from Monday evening through Wednesday morning.

* WHAT...For the Extreme Cold Warning, dangerously cold wind chills as low as 9 above expected. For the Extreme Cold Watch, dangerously cold wind chills as low as 7 above possible.

* IMPACTS...Frostbite and hypothermia will occur if unprotected skin is exposed to wind chills as low as 5 to 10 degrees. An extended period of freezing temperatures could cause exposed water pipes to rupture.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Use caution while traveling outside. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves.

Make frequent checks on older family, friends, and neighbors. Ensure portable heaters are used correctly. Do not use generators or grills inside.

To prevent freezing and possible bursting of outdoor water pipes they should be wrapped, drained, or allowed to drip slowly. Those that have in-ground sprinkler systems should drain them and cover above-ground pipes to protect them from freezing.

Keep pets indoors as much as possible.

I had the incredible opportunity to meet the four finalists from Santa Rosa County of the 'Amazing Shake' competition at a dinner event held at V. Pauls in Pensacola. These middle school children were truly impressive and intelligent., It was an honor to be one of the judges for this prestigious event, alongside several other prominent leaders from our community.

Congratulations to Avalon Middle School, Kerrigan Densman, winner of the 2023-2024 Amazing Shake finalists competition, hosted by Navy Federal Credit Union.
