I made my living as a radio broadcaster from 1969 through the summer of 1983.  There were no smart phones or Internet in those days, so people often turned to their local radio station for the latest on weather.

I learned a great deal during those years about how weather has an impact on all of us.  Winter weather can be particularly dangerous.

As I write this mid-day, Sunday, January 14, there is a Wind Chill Advisory in place for Fishers through 7am Monday.  Wind Chill readings may go down as far as 25 degrees below zero.

Here is what the National Weather Service recommends in wind chill temperatures this cold.  “Use caution while traveling outside, with appropriate clothing, a hat and glovers,” say the forecasters.

The next few days do not look much better.  Below is what forecasters at the Indianapolis office of the National Weather Service say about Monday through Saturday:

“A prolonged period of frigid temperatures is expected to continue through the coming week.  Air Temperatures will fall below zero for parts of the area Monday into Monday night.  Wind chills may approach -20 degrees for parts of the area.”

Bottom line, be very careful when venturing outdoors in weather like this.
