Five Ways to Survive Subzero Temperatures

 

Whether it be skating, skiing, sledding, or just building a snowman, finding a winter 

 

activity you enjoy is the perfect way to make the cold and the snow seem enjoyable. 

 

Embrace the winter by getting outside and taking advantage of the season.

 

 

A good quality pair of snow boots will last years and make the trek around campus 

 

in the snow much easier. Buy boots with treads on the bottom such as Bean Boots or 

 

SOREL boots. 

 

 

Layer your clothing with scarves, sweaters, hats, and gloves. It is too cold to have 

 

your skin exposed for long periods of time so make sure you are fully bundled up 

 

when walking around campus.

 

 

Getting exercise will warm you up right away! It’s easy to skip out on the gym when 

 

it is freezing outside but you will feel so much better and warmer afterwards.

 

 

If it’s too cold to go outside, have a cozy night in with friends, blankets, and warm 

 

food! Try to find ways to make the most of the winter weather but sometimes it is 

 

warmer (and safer) to have fun indoors.
