As the wind increases, heat is carried away from the body at an accelerated rate, driving down the body temperature. Animals are also affected by wind chill. The strain from the cold and the hard labor may cause a heart attack. Sweating could lead to a chill and hypothermia. Melt it first.
Disorientation occurs quickly in wind-driven snow and cold.
Exercise from time to time by vigorously moving arms, legs, fingers, and toes to keep blood circulating and to keep warm. Eat and drink. Food provides the body with energy for producing its own heat. Keep the body replenished with fluids to prevent dehydration. Wear layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing.
