Tips to avoid frostbite and hypothermia

1. Layer up with as many layers as possible — hats, gloves, jackets and scarves. Do not let your layers constrict you because this could cut off blood flow.

 

2. Stay inside during peak hours of bitter cold. Warm up with coffee, hot chocolate or in a heated space.

 

3. Look for warning signs of frostbite and hypothermia. If you see any, seek immediate medical attention.
