With a Wind Chill Warning in effect for the state of Indiana and expected to reach -20 to -40 degrees on Wednesday, warming centers are opening in counties across the state.
It's important to remember that frostbite can happen in a matter of minutes when the temperatures get that low, and it is dangerous for any person or animal to spend any amount of time outside.
