Updated: 8:35 PM Tips for staying warm: -Wear a hat, hood, or scarf, as most heat is lost through the head. -Wear layers, as they provide better insulation and warmth. -Keep fingertips, earlobes, and noses covered if you go outside. -Keep clothing dry; if a layer becomes wet, remove it. Tips for Extreme Cold Prevention from the CDC: http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/pdf/cold_guide.pdf Learn how to winterize your home: http://www.kktv.com/home/headlines/Its-Time-To-Winterize-Your-Home--172592321.html The Five P’s of Cold Weather Preparedness: http://www.disastersrus.org/emtools/cold/cold.htm Tips to protect your pets in cold weather: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/pet-care-tips/cold-weather-tips.aspx Tips to Prepare your vehicle for cold weather: (From Allstate Insurance Co.) -Be sure to get your engine checked out if you are experiencing hard starts, stalls or other problems. Windshield wiper blades that are not making full contact with the window, or that are cracked and dried out, should be replaced. Also, be sure to keep extra windshield washer fluid and an ice scraper in your car. Keep a cold weather safety kit in your car that includes gloves, boots, blankets, flares, water and a flashlight. Examine your tires for tread life and uneven wearing. Also, be sure tires are properly inflated. Tires lose a pound of pressure for every 10 degrees the temperature drops. Be sure the heater and defroster in your car are working properly to ensure passenger comfort and driver visibility. The cooling system should be flushed every two years with a 50-50 mixture of antifreeze and water. Have the level, condition and concentration of the antifreeze mixture checked periodically. Have your mechanic check your battery fluid levels, battery posts and cable connectors. Bad connections can keep your car from starting. Brakes should be checked as recommended, but if you are noticing pulsations, noises or longer stopping distances, get a mechanic to look at them right away. Make sure all lights and bulbs are in proper working order and replace any burned-out bulbs.
