This is a Montgomery County, Maryland announcement. A big change from the warm weather we have enjoyed.
This is probably the main reason that I would never want to live in that area, a shiver went down my spine just thinking about how cold it is there, haha.

Thank you very much for your comments. It is always good to hear from you.
Roy Kelley - Hypothermia can happen anywhere, anytime, any location. I never thought Texas would have an Ice Freeze in February 2021 but it did. After five hours without electricity (my house is all electric) I was trapped inside, not even able to reach the emergency chord with a ladder to open up the garage door to warm up in the car. I could have easily died from Hypothermia and no one would have known for some time.
Hypothermia happens a lot to people who get lost hiking or riding in boats. When weather changes, everyone needs to know what to do in an emergency. Thanks for raising awareness. I hope many people in your area attend and learn.
