Seeing temps at or below the freezing mark leave many people wishing they lived somewhere warmer. Though our area has a lot of very fun things to do in wintertime, extended periods of extremely cold weather can be dangerous if you aren't prepared.
The CDC has a great resource, "
Extreme Cold: A Prevention Guide to Promote Your Personal Health & Safety" that covers the following topics and more:
- Emergency Supply List
- Preparing Your Home and Car for Winter
- Monitoring Body Temperature
- Understanding Wind Chill
- Frostbite/Hypothermia
Enjoy the beauty of the snow and ice, but remember to plan ahead and be safe!
