With winter temperatures bottoming out it is good to avoid hypothermia when you venture outdoors -- especially if you are going to be outside for the inauguration or some other winter event.
- Wear a hat -- most body heat is lost through the head.
- Wear warm socks and insulated foot wear -- save your fancy duds for the inaugural ball.
- Wear gloves -- not those fashionable leather ones but insulated ski type gloves.
- Dress in layers. Add down vests, long underwear, and windbreakers.
- Wear a Neck-up or extra long turtleneck pull up to help cover your face.
- Take warm clothes in your car if you are traveling a distance -- if your car breaks down you may wish you had some extra layers. Pack them for your kids too.
When you come inside away from the cold, use a
Maine Warmer to help warm up. If you are going to be out for about an hour you might wrap a
Neck Warmer around your neck under your coat, or take some
Hand Warmers with you. Slip a warmer or two under the covers before hopping in bed to avoid the chill of cold sheets.
