<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2">Dear Undergraduates, </font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2">I hope all is well, and that you are enjoying this three-day Valentine's Day/President's Day Weekend.</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2">As you may be aware, this evening and tomorrow morning will be especially cold; the last time Boston experienced weather as cold was in 2004. If you are going to be outside between 10:00PM tonight and 10:00AM
tomorrow morning, please be advised that the actual temperature will be below zero (0) degrees Fahrenheit (-18 degrees Celsius), and the wind chill effect will make it seem as if it is around negative-thirty (-30) degrees Fahrenheit (-34 degrees Celsius).</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2">In such conditions, according to the <a href="http://www.google.org/publicalerts/alert?aid=fccad7b6c1e194d8&hl=en&gl=US&source=web" target="_blank">National Weather Service</a>, "A wind chill index below -30
can bring about frostbite in as little as 10 minutes. Outdoor exposure should be limited. If you are heading outdoors, dress in layers and keep your hands and head covered to protect against frostbite." While I am hopeful that students will not get frostbite,
perhaps the key takeaway is that if you are not properly dressed tonight, you may not have an optimally pleasant evening.</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2">Please also note that <a href="http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/charles_river_basin" target="_blank">temperatures on the Charles River can be much colder than temperatures on land</a>, and wind speeds are
much higher. If you are walking across the Harvard Bridge, warm clothing should definitely be a consideration.</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2">Accordingly, if you have plans this evening, whether that is going to the grocery store, heading to the symphony or partying hard, please be sure to completely cover your body with some form of insulating material
(jacket, gloves, head cover, or other creative coverings).</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2"><br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><font size="2">Have a wonderful weekend, and have fun!</font></div>
