Exposure to cold temperatures and winter weather conditions can have negative impacts on your health. When exposed to the cold, your body can lose heat faster than it can be produced. This can lead to cold-related illness or even death. 

Cold-related illness includes many health problems such as hypothermia and frostbite, which occur when the body becomes too cold. While these health issues are most likely at very cold temperatures, they can occur even at cool temperatures (above 40°F) if a person becomes cold from wind, rain, sweat or cold water.

When it is very cold outside, stay indoors or seek places with heating. For relief from the cold, consider visiting a mall, movie theater, public library or local warming center.​
