Stay Warm: Dress in Layers for Cold Weather

Staff Report / FLXlocal.org

As temperatures drop, it is important to dress appropriately for cold weather. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Buffalo, NY, highlights the significance of adding layers to stay warm and dry.

For chilly conditions, it is recommended to wear 1-2 layers, including a long layer, along with an outer layer to block wind and rain. Waterproof warm shoes are also advised.

In cold weather, individuals should wear 2-3 layers, along with gloves and a warm hat. An outer layer is essential to keep out wind and wet snow, and waterproof boots are necessary.

For extreme cold, wearing 3 or more layers is recommended. This should include at least one insulating layer, gloves, a warm hat, and a face mask to protect the face. An outer layer is again necessary to block wind, and waterproof boots are crucial. It is suggested to wear 2 or more additional layers for maximum warmth.
