It can be relaxing and peaceful to enjoy the snow if you are able to look at it from inside the warmth of your own home. But in most cases, we need to venture out at some point – and it has been especially frigid recently in the Midwest.
Going out into wintry weather means cold hands and clearing paths to be able to walk and drive safely. However, too much time spent outside when it’s cold or not taking proper safety measures when outside can result in serious, even life-threatening, illness and injury to your hands and upper extremities.

Cook foods until they are soft. Cut food for young children into pieces no larger than 1/4 inch for infants and 1/2 inch for toddlers. Encourage children to chew food well. Staff must actively supervise children while eating and insist that children sit down while eating. Children should never run, walk, play, or lie down with food in their mouths.
Toys are designed to be used by children within a certain age range. The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) sets age guidelines that take into account the safety of a toy based on any possible choking hazard. Always supervise children during play and don’t let young children play with toys designed for older children. Toys and games with small parts and small manipulatives should not be available to children on low shelving or open bins unless all children present are at least age 3. Some children who are 3 years of age and older may still put items into their mouths so close supervision is needed.
