Good afternoon, Queen City!
Rumor has it that temperatures may drop down to, if not below, 20 degrees Tuesday night here in Charlotte. While this is outrageously cold for a Charlotte November, it is not long until 20 degree nights become a regular occurrence even this far south. The CDC defines "extreme cold" as any temperatures significantly below what the general population is used to. To help all of you stay nice and safely toasty, we have attached a link to the CDC's extreme cold preparedness guide. This includes a guide for what to keep in your car in case you get stranded in the snow, as well as facts about frostbite, hypothermia, wind chill dangers, and all sorts of other useful information. Don't forget that you can experience hypothermia even when temperatures are above 40 degrees if your clothing or skin isn't dry! Enjoy, and best of luck collecting emergency supplies for your car if you haven't already!

Stay safe, Charlotte!
