❄️ Stay Warm, Rowan County ❄️

Winter weather can be fun—especially when fluffy snow hits the ground—but colder temperatures and increasing wind chill mean it’s important to take extra precautions.

If kids are heading outside to enjoy the snow, keep playtime short and supervised, and make sure everyone comes inside often to warm up. Dress in layers, cover hands, heads, and faces, and watch closely for signs of cold stress or frostbite.

As temperatures continue to drop, what feels fun at first can quickly become dangerous. A few smart steps can keep winter play safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Stay warm. Stay safe. Take care of one another. 💙
