The CDC has some great tips on how to deal with extremely cold weather. With temps in the Metro Atlanta area dipping into the single digits and the wind chill making it feel like it is well below zero, the Doctors at North Atlanta Urgent Care want you to be mindful of the risks and symptoms of hypothermia. Extra layers, covering all exposed skin and using feet and hand warmers will help tremendously if you have to be out in the frigid air for any length of time. But, the best defense against the bitter wind is to simply stay indoors.
