It seems like every day that the forecast is predicted snow, and while it is exciting, the extreme weather may be of a shock to our systems. It is important to protect yourself from the cold weather, primarily for comfort, but to also ensure your boy operates at optimum temperature.
This increases your ability to fight off viruses prominent this time of year. While most of us believe that by wearing a big winter jacket we are keeping ourselves warm, nothing is as effective as layering. This is because the warm air trapped between the layers acts as an insulator, and by removing a layer, which reduces the amount of heat trapped, you would conveniently cool yourself down if you ever got to hot.
Layering is also effective because of its practicality. With layering you can easily incorporate it into your daily outfits for it to appear seamlessly. For example wearing a vest under a shirt, or a long - sleeved - top under a sweater would provide sufficient insulation without having to wear a bulky coat. However for the predicted extreme weather a 4 layer system is advised. This is a base wool layer, regular clothes, a wool or fleece mid layer, and a waterproof layer. It is also important to cover your hands and ears during the cold season, especially when the weather drops below 5 degrees Celsius.
Cold temperatures can cause physical changes to ears inducing pain, dizziness, ringing, and even hearing loss. You can also reduce your risk of ear infections by keeping the areas warm and dry during the winter time. Cold temperatures and fingers can also have negative effects. The decrease in blood flow increases sensitivity, and the densely pack nerves that are also close to the surface mean that any cold temperature past a certain threshold can be perceived as pain.
With this information you should now be properly advised on how to deal with the alleged on coming snow, and because of this, be able to actually enjoy it.
