SALT LAKE CITY — Residents in the affected areas are being advised to take precautions until Thursday afternoon.A Wind Chill Warning is now in place for areas in north and northeast Utah through 11 a.m. on Thursday. A large section of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest and Ashley National Forest are expected to receive the worst conditions as winds gust as high as 65 miles per hour.
According to the National Weather Service, wind chill at -25 degrees can cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 15 minutes. Those who must go outside in locations under the warning should make sure all parts of their bodies are well covered, including, face, ears, fingers and toes.

"When frostbite starts, feeling is lost in the affected area and the frozen tissue will take on a white or pale appearance. If you suspect you are experiencing frostbite, hold the frostbitten area closely against warm skin to return blood flow and warmth to the affected area," the National Weather Service said.
