The National Weather Service in the US suggests placing a rolled up towel at the base of exterior doors, and moving all activities to one room of the house and closing the remaining interior doors to retain heat. Drawing curtains can also help to keep the heat in.

Extreme cold can cause water pipes to freeze and sometimes break. Tips to avoid this include leaving taps slightly open so they drip continuously, and allowing heated air to reach pipes by opening cabinet doors beneath sinks.

If you think you're getting too cold and your body temperature is dropping then you should get help and in an emergency contact your local emergency services.

Other ways of keeping warm
If you have a gas or wood fireplace, you should use it, or alternatively a portable "indoor-safe" heater.

The CDC notes that turning on the stove for heat is not safe.

You should also keep grills, camp stoves and generators out of the house, basement and garage, as the fumes can be deadly.

If you are seeking warmth in your car, remember the fumes coming out are toxic so always have a window open and never switch on your engine in a closed garage.

Shoes and sand
Being outside is sometimes unavoidable, but there are things you can do to make it as safe as possible.

As a first-step you should accompany your warm clothing with non-slip shoes to try to prevent any falls. The CDC also advises sprinkling cat litter or sand on any icy patches, if it is not possible to avoid them altogether.

It is also a good idea to carry your mobile phone with you, and ensure it is fully charged when you leave the house so that you can contact someone in an emergency. You should also tell someone where you are going and when you are expected to return.

You should not be rushing in freezing weather, so tread carefully and work slowly if doing chores outside.

Preparing for a drive pg slot
If you need to drive somewhere, be sure to check the weather and road conditions first. Like with walking in freezing conditions, it is important not to rush.
