Remember in this extremely cold weather to limit your children's and pet's time outside. The wind chill factors can make it much worse. Frost bite can happen very quickly. Remember to check your pet's feet as well. The ice melting products put down on the roads and sidewalks can irritate and burn the pads of their feet.

With the final arrival of cold weather remember to watch your footing. Don't fail to plan and try to run down hill to the boat last minute-we've seen several near catastrophic falls. If you should feel the need to run for the boat, please remember to pull your cart behind you rather than push it. Those small front wheels catch on rocks and cracks in the road and sidewalk. The forward momentum has thrown many an Islander up and over their cart in past years.
