“Take steps to be safe during winter storms and extreme cold.            Stay indoors during the storm, Dress for the weather, Wear a hat, hood, or scarf, as most heat is lost through the head.  Wear layers, as they provide better insulation and warmth.  Keep fingertips, earlobes, and noses covered if you go outside.  Keep clothing dry; if a layer becomes wet, remove it.Recognize the signs and symptoms of frostbite and hypothermia but keep the heart pumping in the cold”
