So in addition to blizzard conditions sticking around through tonight... we're going to have those wicked winds just stay with us as well. Just looking at the forecast high temperatures for Monday brings chills down my spine, but then you factor in the NW winds... it's going to be brutal. 
The National Weather Service has put Windchill Warnings in effect for every county in dark blue, so that means it will feel anywhere between 35 and 55 degrees below zero. Taking a look at the NWS windchill chart, this means frostbite could go into effect within 30 minutes with lighter winds and warmer temperatures. The colder the temp and higher the wind, frostbite could set in within 10 minutes and even within 5 minutes if it gets incredibly cold and windy. 
I really can't stress enough how important it is to stay inside as much as possible tonight and tomorrow... these are extremely dangerous conditions to venture outdoors in. Be careful and stay warm!~KDLT Meteorologist Jesse Ritka
