News Center 7’s Xavier Hershovitz says when the temperatures fall, the danger rises.
In 2023, over 1,000 Americans died from cold temperatures, according to the CDC.
The biggest dangers are hypothermia and frostbite.
The CDC says it takes less than 30 minutes for frostbite to develop with wind chills around zero.
“Winter weather can be extremely dangerous in so many ways,” said Daniel Parra, American Red Cross.
Hershovitz says it’s a good idea to be prepared if you are going to be outside.
This includes a hat, gloves, scarf, and heavy winter coat.
