In recent days, the cold wave has covered the north and south of the great river. Even Guangzhou, which has been experiencing difficulties in autumn, has seen snow. People have expressed their delight and piled up snowmen with high fingers to take photos. Hong Kong has even set a record for the lowest temperature in 59 years. Kindergartens and primary schools have been closed as a result, while we… are shoveling snow.
People also made up jokes one after another, For example: @ Scientists Grow the Sun: The latest scientific research shows that cold can keep people young. Feng Tong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences who is in charge of the Natural Science Foundation project, said in an interview with reporters that although he is already in his fifties and belongs to a grandfather this year, he still feels like a grandson when he goes out in cold weather without long Johns.
Even the invincible square dance has become an underground garage dance under the blow of the cold wave. Nature’s uncanny work is nothing more than this.
Fortunately, the extremely cold weather has passed, the north has begun to gradually warm up, and the winter in the south will last for a few more days. Of course, there is still a chance to reflect on such a rare experience.
After these days, have you summed up some experiences on how to deal with extremely cold weather? It doesn’t matter, Dr. Clove has summed it up. As long as everyone collects it, there will be no problem!
Clothes
-
First of all, make sure to wear warm clothes and leave extra warm clothing.
-
If you have to go out, besides wearing warm clothes, you must wear a hat, which can help you reduce body temperature loss.

Wear and finger gloves, which are much warmer than ordinary gloves.

Wearing a mask can prevent the lungs from inhaling too much cold air.

If your fingers, toes, ears or nose are unconscious or pale with cold, you need to see a doctor immediately.

If you feel trembling, vague memory, extreme fatigue and illegible speech, please call 120 immediately, which may be a dangerous hypothermia.
Food
-
Prepare the first aid kit: It contains commonly used emergency drugs, water and food, and also needs to prepare batteries, flashlights, distress equipment, etc.
-
Prepare enough food that can be eaten without going out. It should be easy to preserve and cook. When it is cold, you need more energy to maintain your body temperature. Eat more in moderation every time you eat.

Prepare enough food for pets and take them indoors.
Live

Pay attention to the heating temperature. When suffering from diabetic foot or lower limb arterial embolism, pay more attention to heating to avoid scalding.
-
When using heating and air conditioning for heating, the air may be extremely dry, so pay attention to humidification.
-
When using the electric blanket, be careful not to soak in water, not to fold, pay attention to the service life of the electric blanket, and prevent fire caused by short circuit.
-
When using liquefied gas, coal, wood, etc. to burn for heating, ventilation must be paid attention to to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning; Prepare sufficient fuel in advance.
Row

It is very important to make a family communication plan. You need to plan ahead: how to contact your family, how to meet and get together at home, and how to do what in case of emergency.
-
If it is not necessary, try not to go out.
-
Please sprinkle sand or snow melting agent on the sidewalk near the door to prevent skidding. Try not to move on your own when freezing. Wear shoes with good anti-skid function on soles and use walking sticks to prevent accidental falls.
-
In cold weather, the heart can be under extra pressure. If you have heart disease or high blood pressure, consult your doctor about whether you can shovel snow or do other heavy physical work outdoors. In such weather, the body is already struggling to maintain its body temperature, so don’t overload it.
-
If you need to drive, ensure that all aspects of the car anti-freezing measures are in place and the battery works well.
-
If you are trapped in the car, turn on the car engine and heater for about 10 minutes every 1 hour to keep warm. Open the window a little to ventilate and remove the snow from the exhaust pipe to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.
