Cold - Very cold

It's bitterly cold here in the northeastern US. Temperatures have been hovering at and below zero for multiple days and there's no sign of relief in the near future. If you must venture out, bundle up and make it quick.

Cold weather is far more dangerous than hot weather to humans. More people die from exposure to cold than to heat. Intuitively, this makes sense. On the hottest day (say 100 degrees or so), the temperature is essentially 15 degrees above comfort level. On the coldest day (we had temps of -8 degrees the other morning), we were 93 degrees below that same comfort temp. Brrrrr.

Stay warm.
