National Weather Service warns of 'extremely dangerous winter weather'

There is a list of precipitation amounts at this link.
..SELECTED STORM TOTAL SNOWFALL IN INCHES FROM 1200 PM CST SUN
FEB 07 THROUGH 200 AM CST WED FEB 10...
So far Finland, Minnesota is leading the nation in snow with 15.4 inches.

There are high winds expected as well in areas of the country. Secure all potentially flying objects outside, but, kindly be aware of the dangers of being out in this kind of weather. Limit exposure to the WIND and cold to a 'time schedule.' Return to warmth frequently.

Count on flooding when it warms. The fluctuations of temperature will also make 'ice' on ponds and lakes unpredictable. Children should be warned to stay away from bodies of water. Adults need to supervise any skating, ice hockey or otherwise. Those adults should have REPORTS by Park/Forest Rangers in regard to the safety of ice formations over water.

No one should take anything for granted. The dangers of these fluctuating weather systems is melting can create weaker ice when air bubbles are trapped in ice layers. Please, please be careful. Skating and recreation over 'shallow' bodies of water is best at this point. Seriously.

Thank you.
