With dangerously cold temperatures taking hold across Upstate New York for the weekend, it's important to protect yourself from the elements. Temperatures tonight could range anywhere from -10 degrees all the way down to -30 in the Adirondacks.

30mph wind gusts will make it feel even colder, making frostbite possible in 15 minutes or less. In conditions like this, it's obvious for people to bundle up, limit exposure, and seek shelter, but it should be just as obvious to take steps to protect your pets and neighborhood animals.
