Local communities are going into high alert to deal with this extreme cold this weekend. They are worried about vulnerable pop layings like the homeless. Sabina kuriakose live outside a homeless shelter in chester delaware conte tonight. Sabina. Reporter chris and dawn, even as weve been standing out here theres actually been a light snowfall happening just as scott predicted. Now here at City Team Shelter they tell me theyre at capaci capacity. Theyre seeing a rush of people coming in looking for a warm place to stay as extreme cold temperatures creep in. Now, take a look. People in our area earlier today bundled up against the frigid temperatures as they walk and wait for public transit. These are the coldest conditions we have seen all winter long. It is the kind of weather especially going into this weekend where frost bite and hypothermia are true concerns. Ski resorts i spoke with reporting that they are sold out for the Holiday Weekend so they expect a lot of people to be hitting the slopes this weekend and organizers of tomorrows Polar Bear Plunge in Sea Isle City tell me that they actually plan to go ahead. That means more than 2,000 people jumping into the ocean for charity. Now organizers say they will be reminding people to bring extra clothes and dry off immediately after jumping into the water. Still our dr. Mike says, in this kind of cold, taking that dive can be dangerous. If you jump into the ocean with temperatures this cold, you really run the risk of having a serious problem. I would say just fork up some money to the good charity, stay out of the water. The thing is, if youre wet, thats even worse. You lose body temperature very quickly. The way that you watch out for hypothermia is by wearing layers of clothing, and to be honest with you, get out of the cold. If you have to be in the cold, you need to wear layers. The problem with hypothermia is that the body temperature gets so low that you can get into major problems and end up in the hospital. Reporter and along with hypothermia of course frost bite is a major concern. Dr. Mike saying that these kinds of temperatures that can happen within about a half an hour. So if you are out there hitting the sleeps skiing or snowboarding make sure you are heading inside in between runs to warm up, and if at all youre outside this weekend make sure your nose, ears and your fingers are well covered. Chris and dawn, back to you. Sabina, good advice. Thank you.
