About this map: Both high and low temperature extremes can be harmful to humans and animals. Use this map to take the proper precautions when extreme conditions exist.
Wind Chill About this map:
The wind chill temperature is what the temperature "feels like" to people and animals during cold
weather. Wind chill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold. As the wind increases, it draws heat from the body, driving down skin temperature and eventually the internal body temperature. Once temperatures drop below 10 °F and the wind is gusting, conditions are ripe for cold-related illnesses. Below -5 °F, any wind is a major factor in frostbite and hypothermia. Use this map to recognize potential hazards from wind chill. Snow Accumulation About this map:
Snow accumulation, although beautiful, can and does present hazardous conditions.
Use this national map to help predict potential hazards in your local area.
