Mom! Can we play outside in the snow…please?!?!!?

Monitor/limit the amount of time kids spend outside in severe weather.

I know they think it’s fun, but do NOT let them play for hours in the cold.

Bundle up!

Do you know the differences between frostbite and hypothermia?

Frostbite: loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. Get medical help immediately.

Hypothermia: uncontrollable shivering, memory loss, disorientation, incoherence, slurred speech, drowsiness, and apparent exhaustion. If symptoms of hypothermia are detected, get the victim to a warm location, remove wet clothing, warm the center of the body first and give warm, non-alcoholic beverages if the victim is conscious. Get medical help as soon as possible.
