It is so cold outside!
I know. It is absolutely frigid.
This weather can be very dangerous you know.
I know. Did you get a chance to read the article about how to be safe in the winter?
No, but can you tell me about it?
Sure. In a nutshell, it discussed hypothermia and frostbite. Both of these conditions are severe and can lead to amputation or even death!
No. They are similar, but there are some differences. Frostbite is caused by one our limbs becoming frozen. If the frostbite is severe enough, the affected body part may have to be amputated.
Frostbite and hypothermia are the same condition. Are they not?
No Kidding! Hypothermia occurs when the body temperature drops too low.
This can lead to death?

Yes. Hypothermia can lead to death.
I love winter, but I can see we must be mindful of the dangers of bitterly cold weather.
Right. The article stressed the importance of keeping dry while outside. Keeping dry will go a long way towards keeping us comfortable and safe in winter.
That makes sense. The other day I went for a walk in very deep snow and my feet got soaked. My feet felt numb and my whole body felt chilled.
Now another consideration is the wind chill. This simply means that a windy day in the winter will usually feel considerably cold than a calm day.I know that a windy day can make -10c feel bitterly cold.
You really need to read the article. I’m going to quickly run home quickly and get it for you.
Thanks a lot!
No prob! I’ll be right back.
Let’s learn what we can do to be safe in the winter!

Running or walking is a great way to keep warm while outside on a cold day.
Dictation 2
Wet clothing can severely chill the body. Remove any wet clothing as soon as possible.
Dictation 3
Keeping an emergency kit in the trunk of your car could save your life. Update it from time to time to be sure you have the equipment you need in case of an emergency.
Dictation 4
Hypothermia can lead to death. If you suspect someone is suffering from hypothermia be sure to get medical help immediately. Lay the injured person down, carefully remove any wet clothing and try to very gradually warm the person.
Dictation 5
Winter can be dangerous if proper care is not taken. If the weather is very bad stay at home if possible. If you absolutely must go out make sure you dress appropriately; this means dressing in layers and making sure your head and hands are covered.
