Cold Weather Tips
As we near the end of winter it is important to remember that we are not out of the woods yet. Cold weather and winter storms are still a cause for concern.
Hypothermia and frostbite are emergency medical conditions. Hypothermia occurs when your body drops below 95°F, and frostbite occurs when your body tissue freezes. If you will be spending time outside, do not ignore shivering. Shivering is an important sign that your body is losing heat and a signal to quickly return indoors. In high wind conditions, cold weather-related health problems are much more likely.
