Cover exposed skin as frostbite can develop within minutes especially with increased wind chill. Symptoms may include numbness or white areas on your face and extremities (ears, nose, cheeks, hands and feet in particular).

Always wear clothing appropriate for the weather. Synthetic and wool fabrics provide better insulation. Dress in layers with a wind resistant outer layer.

Wear warm socks, mittens, a hat and scarf and be sure to cover your nose.

If you get wet, change into dry clothing as soon as possible. You lose heat faster when you’re wet.
