While you\u2019ll surely be crammed in a house with all of the extended family members you\u2019ve ever known, it\u2019s not a great idea to step outside. With wind chills approaching -10\u2109, it\u2019ll take less than half an hour of outside exposure to get permanent frostbite, not the ideal Christmas present.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have to drive somewhere this weekend, make sure to bring a coat in your car with you and wear pants. Breaking down on Christmas day could mean abnormally long wait times because, well, no one works on Christmas. It\u2019s better to be safe than sorry and freezing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you can\u2019t go out, what can you do? I know what I\u2019ll be doing: relaxing on my couch with the rest of my family watching some Christmas day football games. If football\u2019s not your thing, break out the hot chocolate and the cards. Take advantage of break and relax; January 5th will be here before you know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/phoenix.ncweb.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/o-cold-weather-health-benefits-facebook.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/phoenix.ncweb.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/o-cold-weather-health-benefits-facebook.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/phoenix.ncweb.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/o-cold-weather-health-benefits-facebook-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/phoenix.ncweb.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/o-cold-weather-health-benefits-facebook-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/phoenix.ncweb.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/o-cold-weather-health-benefits-facebook-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/phoenix.ncweb.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/o-cold-weather-health-benefits-facebook-1536x768.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Sam Underhill With winter break approaching, some of us might be looking forward to getting some fresh air as we escape our stuffy classrooms for two weeks.
