WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. FROST BITE AND
HYPOTHERMIA ARE POSSIBLE IF THOSE VENTURING OUTDOORS DO NOT TAKE
THE PROPER PRECAUTIONS. WEAR MULTIPLE LAYERS OF WARM...LOOSE
FITTING CLOTHING. TRAPPED AIR BETWEEN THE LAYERS WILL INSULATE
YOU. OUTER GARMENTS SHOULD BE TIGHTLY WOVEN TO SHIELD THE WIND. A
