PLEASE REMEMBER TO BANG ON THE HOOD OF YOUR CAR BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE! Cats or other creatures may have hidden in there for warmth. And keep an eye out for animals left out in the cold (and please contact someone immediately if you see any).

There are a lot of posts going around about hypothermia and let me just say that anyone who tells you to take clothes off to prevent hypothermia (unless you’re soaking wet) is trying to fucking kill you

Check your sources. If OP has no stated/proven medical training then you shouldn’t trust their medical advice. Sweating will not kill you- but dress to your comfort. Listen to your body. Learn about wind chill and frostbite. Your sweat WILL NOT FREEZE if it’s hot enough under your layers to generate sweat omfg

Edit: obviously if you can, change your clothes if they’re wet, but like it’s not necessary and if you’re poor and you don’t have options keep your clothes on

And lastly never fucking sleep naked if you have no power and are trying to not freeze. Your house will never get warm enough in an arctic blast to make you sweat.
