Close off unused rooms. Listen to the radio or television for the latest storm information or emergency instructions. Wear loose-fitting, layered, lightweight clothing. Layers can be removed to prevent perspiration and chill. Outer garments should be tightly woven and water repellent.
Mittens are warmer then gloves because fingers share warmth when they touch each other.
Cover your mouth. Protect your lungs from extremely cold air. Try not to speak. Cold weather puts an added strain on the heart. Unaccustomed exercise such as shoveling snow or pushing cars can bring on a heart attack or make other medical conditions worse.
