ing a winter storm, stay in the car. Don't seek shelter or a telephone unless you can see one close by. For heat, turn on the car engine for brief periods.
Avoiding Overexposure
And Overexertion
• To prevent hypothermia, dress warmly, both during the day and while sleeping. Several layers of lighter weight clothing or blankets are better than a single, heavy layer. Be sure to wear a hat when going outside. Nearly half you body's heat is lost through the head.
• Cold weather puts a strain on the heart, even without exercise. During the January 1996 snowstorm, more people died from heart attacks brought on by overexertion than any other cause. Of the 18 deaths during that event, 10 were from heart attacks caused by overexertion. Be careful when shoveling snow, pushing a car or other exertion.
