Cabin Fever Relief - Part 1

Big Dipper and any other's you can recognize. It really is a winter wonderland. We even take pictures of how deep the snow is, all you need is a yard stick and a person to get the right visual of snow's depth. Winter is here and up here in the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area we get plenty of snow. By the way the mist of the Falls freezes and there are awesome snow drifts in the park. It's just another season of beauty to enjoy.

Dress in layers, wear boots with traction, keep extra sets of gloves, hats, socks and scarfs for quick changes of cold wet ones. If you start to shiver or feel a tingling in your fingers, toes or ears, go inside to warm up. Don't wait until you are extremely cold, or feel pain. To warm up hands and feet slowly run luke warm water over them, not hot. Or just rub and keep rubbing until they feel warmer. Bundle little ones up, and constantly check to make sure their gloves and feet are dry, ask if they feel cold. If a baby or toddler can't tell you, pay extra special attention to their overall disposition, if they seem sleepy, are agitated or just not having fun, take them back indoors. Do not allow children under eight to play outdoors unattended. Make sure you know where older children are playing and check on them periodically. A little over protection could save a life. Do not let children play outdoors when there are blizzard conditions, or high wind chill factors, lowering the temperature even more. Most of all - use common sense, if it is too cold for you to walk to the corner, or rural mailbox, it is too cold to play outside.
