Winter Weather Safety Tips.
What to Wear
Dress infants and children warmly for outdoor activities. Several thin layers will keep them dry and warm. Clothing for children should consist of thermal long johns, turtlenecks, one or two shirts, pants, sweater, coat, warm socks, boots, gloves or mittens, and a hat.
The rule of thumb for older babies and young children is to dress them in one more layer of clothing than an adult would wear in the same conditions.
Blankets, quilts, pillows, sheepskins and other loose bedding may contribute to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and should be kept out of an infant’s sleeping environment. Sleep clothing like one-piece sleepers is preferred.
If a blanket must be used to keep a sleeping infant warm, it should be tucked in around the crib mattress, reaching only as far as your baby’s chest, so the infant's face is less likely to become covered by bedding.
Hypothermia Hypothermia develops when a child's temperature falls below normal due to exposure to cold. It often happens when a youngster is playing outdoors in extremely cold weather without wearing proper clothing or when clothes get wet.
As hypothermia sets in, the child may shiver and become lethargic and clumsy. His speech may become slurred and his body temperature will decline.
If you suspect your child is hypothermic, call 911 at once. Until help arrives, take the child indoors, remove any wet clothing, and wrap him in blankets or warm clothes.
Frostbite Frostbite happens when the skin and outer tissues become frozen. This condition tends to happen on extremities like the fingers, toes, ears and nose. They may become pale, gray and blistered. At the same time, the child may complain that her skin burns or has become numb.
If frostbite occurs, bring the child indoors and place the frostbitten parts of her body in warm (not hot) water. 104° Fahrenheit (about the temperature of most hot tubs) is recommended. Warm washcloths may be applied to frostbitten nose, ears and lips.
Do not rub the frozen areas.
After a few minutes, dry and cover him with clothing or blankets. Give him something warm to drink.
If the numbness continues for more than a few minutes, call your doctor.
Winter Health
If your child suffers from winter nosebleeds, try using a cold air humidifier in the child's room at night. Saline nose drops may help keep tissues moist. If bleeding is severe or recurrent, consult your pediatrician.
Many pediatricians feel that bathing two or three times a week is enough for an infant’s first year. More frequent baths may dry out the skin, especially during the winter.
Cold weather does not cause colds or flu. But the viruses that cause colds and flu tend to be more common in the winter, when children are in school and are in closer contact with each other. Frequent hand washing and teaching your child to sneeze or cough into the bend of her elbow may help reduce the spread of colds and flu.
Children between 6 months and 18 years of age should get the influenza vaccine to reduce their risk of catching the flu.
Winter Sports and Activities
Set reasonable time limits on outdoor play to prevent frostbite. Have children come inside periodically to warm up.
Ice Skating
Allow children to skate only on approved surfaces. Check for signs posted by local police or recreation departments, or call your local police department to find out which areas have been approved.
Advise your child to: skate in the same direction as the crowd; avoid darting across the ice; never skate alone; not chew gum or eat candy while skating.
Consider having your child wear a helmet while ice skating.
Sledding
Keep sledders away from motor vehicles.
Children should be supervised while sledding.
Keep young children separated from older children.
Sledding feet first or sitting up, instead of lying down head-first, may prevent head injuries.
Consider having your child wear a helmet while sledding.
Use steerable sleds, not snow disks or inner tubes.
Sleds should be structurally sound and free of sharp edges and splinters, and the steering mechanism should be well lubricated.
Sled slopes should be free of obstructions like trees or fences, be covered in snow not ice, not be too steep (slope of less than 30ยบ), and end with a flat runoff.
Avoid sledding in crowded areas.
Snow Skiing and SnowboardingChildren should be taught to ski or snowboard by a qualified instructor in a program designed for children.
Never ski or snowboard alone.
Young children should always be supervised by an adult. Older children’s need for adult supervision depends on their maturity and skill. If older children are not with an adult, they should always at least be accompanied by a friend.
The AAP recommends that children under age 7 not snowboard.
Consider wearing a helmet.
Equipment should fit the child. Skiers should wear safety bindings that are adjusted at least every year. Snowboarders should wear gloves with built-in wrist guards.
Slopes should fit the ability and experience of the skier or snowboarder. Avoid crowded slopes.
Avoid skiing in areas with trees and other obstacles.
Snowmobiling The AAP recommends that children under age 16 not operate snowmobiles and that children under age 6 never ride on snowmobiles.
Do not use a snowmobile to pull a sled or skiers.
Wear goggles and a safety helmet approved for use on motorized vehicles like motorcycles.
Travel at safe speeds.
Never use alcohol or other drugs before or during snowmobiling.
Never snowmobile alone or at night.
Stay on marked trails, away from roads, water, railroads and pedestrians.
Sun Protection
The sun’s rays can still cause sunburn in the winter, especially when they reflect off snow. Make sure to cover your child’s exposed skin with sunscreen.
Fire Protection
Winter is a time when household fires occur. It is a good time to remember to:
Buy and install smoke alarms on every floor of your home
Test smoke alarms monthly
Practice fire drills with your children
Guidelines•Listen to your radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for weather reports and emergency information.
•Eat regularly and drink ample fluids, but avoid caffeine and alcohol.
•Conserve fuel, if necessary, by keeping your residence cooler than normal. Temporarily close off heat to some rooms.
•If the pipes freeze, remove any insulation or layers of newspapers and wrap pipes in rags. Completely open all faucets and pour hot water over the pipes, starting where they were most exposed to the cold (or where the cold was most likely to penetrate).
•Maintain ventilation when using kerosene heaters to avoid build-up of toxic fumes. Refuel kerosene heaters outside and keep them at least three feet from flammable objects.
Back To Top
If you are outdoors
•Avoid overexertion when shoveling snow. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack—a major cause of death in the winter. If you must shovel snow, stretch before going outside.
•Cover your mouth. Protect your lungs from extremely cold air by covering your mouth when outdoors. Try not to speak unless absolutely necessary.
•Keep dry. Change wet clothing frequently to prevent a loss of body heat. Wet clothing loses all of its insulating value and transmits heat rapidly.
•Watch for signs of frostbite. These include loss of feeling and white or pale appearance in extremities such as fingers, toes, ear lobes, and the tip of the nose. If symptoms are detected, get medical help immediately.
•Watch for signs of hypothermia. These include 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
◦put the person in dry clothing and wrap their entire body in a blanket
◦warm the center of the body first
◦give warm, non-alcoholic or non-caffeinated beverages if the victim is conscious
◦get medical help as soon as possible.
Back To Top
If you are driving
•Drive only if it is absolutely necessary. If you must drive, consider the following:
◦Travel in the day, don’t travel alone, and keep others informed of your schedule.
◦Stay on main roads; avoid back road shortcuts.
•If a blizzard traps you in the car:
◦Pull off the highway. Turn on hazard lights and hang a distress flag from the radio antenna or window.
◦Remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you. Do not set out on foot unless you can see a building close by where you know you can take shelter. Be careful; distances are distorted by blowing snow. A building may seem close, but be too far to walk to in deep snow.
◦Run the engine and heater about 10 minutes each hour to keep warm. When the engine is running, open a downwind window slightly for ventilation and periodically clear snow from the exhaust pipe. This will protect you from possible carbon monoxide poisoning.
◦Exercise to maintain body heat, but avoid overexertion. In extreme cold, use road maps, seat covers, and floor mats for insulation. Huddle with passengers and use your coat for a blanket.
◦Take turns sleeping. One person should be awake at all times to look for rescue crews.
◦Drink fluids to avoid dehydration.
◦Be careful not to waste battery power. Balance electrical energy needs - the use of lights, heat, and radio - with supply.
◦Turn on the inside light at night so work crews or rescuers can see you.
◦If stranded in a remote area, stomp large block letters in an open area spelling out HELP or SOS and line with rocks or tree limbs to attract the attention of rescue personnel who may be surveying the area by airplane.
◦Leave the car and proceed on foot - if necessary - once the blizzard passes.

Winter Weather Outlook,2009-2010
Winter Weather Forecast...Everyone always wants to know what winter is going to be like. Will it be Cold and Stormy?? Or Mild and Dry??
There is a lot of factors that go into making a Sesonal Forecast for 3 month period. I will give you just a few things that go into making seasonal forecasts. In winter forecast we talk about 1. El-nino and 2. La-nina....El-Nino is Warming of the Pacific Ocean Waters. La-nina is Cooling of the Pacific Ocean Waters. Typically when we see a strong El-Nino we see a Mild Winter across our part of the nation,and when we see a strong La-nina we typically see a average to slightly cooler then average winter. There is also other factors that go into winter forecasts ,but I won't get into that.
Here is what we are going to see this year. This Winter Season we are dealing with El-Nino,which has been weakening,and is expected to continue to weaken. Here is how this will affect our Winter for 2009-2010 Season.
I expect to see Colder then Average Temperatures...and Slightly Above Average Precipitation. And for you Snow Lovers I expect Snowfall to be Above Average. We will likely see some pretty big snow systems this season.
Here is how I think things will break down. December and January will likely be the coldest months...then we will probally see a slow warming trend in late january and early February,with another brief cold pattern to finish out the season...there will also be some Severe Bitter Cold Air Outbreaks at times,especially in Dec-Jan. Its not out of the question that we could see temps drop to as low as -15 to -20 deg. And for snowfall,I generally expect between 25.0 inches to 33.0 inches for the whole Winter Season.
Here is what we should see for a typical winter season. High temps range from 46-49 deg to start,and cool all the way down to 35-39 deg toward the middle part of the season,and toward the end of the season avg temps rebound back to 45-49 deg range. Low temps range from 29-33 deg to start,and cool all the way down to 19-23 deg toward the middle part of the season,and toward the end the avg temps rebound back to 25-29 deg range. Precipitation should average around 8.72 inches for the season. (Dec-Feb) Snowfall typically averages around 20.0 inches for the season.
P.S. Winter officially starts on December 21st,2009 (5:47pm) And Winter of 2009-2010 will be a Interesting one. Also i will have Winter Weather Safety Tips on my Website Soon!
