    "Exposure to cold can cause frostbite or hypothermia and become life-threatening. Infants and elderly prople are most susceptible. Freezing temperatures can cause severe damage to persons and property. Pipes may freeze and burst in homes that are poorly insulated or without heat. Here in the north, extreme cold means temperatures well below zero.

    Conditions that May Result from Extreme Cold

    Hypothermia

    Symptoms:
    Shivering
    Slurred speech or mumbling
    Slow, shallow breathing
    Weak pulse
    Clumsiness or lack of coordinationg
    Drowsiness or very low energy
    Confusion or memory loss
    Loss of consciousness
    Bright res, cold skin (in infants)
    First Aid Response
    Danger! Call 9-1-1
    Move out of the cold
    Remove wet clothing
    Cover the person with blankets
    Watch breathing
    Don't apply direct heat

    Frostbite

    Symptoms
    Cold skin and a prickling feeling
    Numbness
    Red, white, bluish-white or grayish-yellow skin
    Hard or waxy-looking skin
    Clumsiness due to joint and muscle stiffness
    Blistering after rewarming, in severe cases
    First Aid Response
    Protect the affected area from further cold
    Don't walk on frostbitten feet
    Seek medical help if you suspect deep frostbite or there is a loss of senstation to the affected area

    Take Action Before a Cold Emergency:

    Preparing for extreme cold can protect your family. There are steps you can take to make your home a better place to stay during periods of extreme cold.
    Dress for the Cold:
    Wear layers of loose-fitting and lightweight clothing. Trapped air between the layers will insulate you.

    If doing strenuous outdoor activities, avoid wearing cotton. Once wet, cotton takes a long time to dry and will sap your heat. Use synthetic fabrics that wick moisture from your skin and dry quickly.
    Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent, and hooded.
    Wear a hat, because 40%of your body heat can be lost from your head.
    Cover your mouth to protect your lungs from extreme cold.
    Mittens, snug at the wrist, are better than gloves.
    Try to stay dry and out of the wind.

    When Traveling:
    Always prepare for the worst!

    Your vehicle's winter survival kit should include warm clothes, boots, blankets, flashlight with extra batteries, candy bars or ceral bars.
    Always carry a charged cell phone and tell others of your travel plans."

  2. This is for @TheEddieShow who had an unfortunate and downright awful experience of photographing a train recently. When I saw his last photo of the train I commented that it reminded me of The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. I happened to see it in a sale books bin at a franchise grocery near home. Not optimal for a good photo, but I took it anyway to share such a wonderful children’s book by an incredible artist. And there inside the book I thought too of the wonderful photography by Eddie.

  3. I finally watched the Polar Express film. It's a perfectly serviceable animated Goosebumps story except for the end where Santa sloughs off his skin and shoves handfuls of cheering elves into his maw as the screen fades to black and credits roll. That was a little intense for my 7 year old.

  5. Just viewed my first Christmas Movie of the season... had to be the what else?! 🧑‍🎄

  6. Finally picked up a copy with the DVD sticker! I'm sure it doesn't even come with an advertisement insert but I think it's neat.

  7. I really wish they'd remake #PolarExpress with the same audio but ditching the terrible uncanny valley animation.
