Very cold weather

Good morning everyone,
It is very cold out this morning and looks like it will hang around for a few days with possible ice on Sunday and Monday. If you haven't been to the store, wrap up and go during the warmest part of the day. Please have enough food for seven days and include items which do not need to be cooked. You may grab some apples or oranges, crackers or snack of your choice. Just remember, it is January in Arkansas. We are going to have bad weather even if it only lasts a few hours. The aging electrical grid just can't handle ice and power outages are almost certain.  Don't get stuck in a cold house with nothing to eat! Know where your blankets are in case the power fails at night. For diabetics, be sure you know where all supplies are located and keep enough for a few days.  Check all medicines for refill dates!

Take care, stay warm!
Until tomorrow,
Dr. Janet
