🔥❄️ Brrr! Baby, it's FREEZING outside! ❄️🔥
As the temperatures plunge to a bone-chilling -29°C (41°C with wind chill) here in Lethbridge this week, let's share some warmth and survival tips to conquer the winter freeze! ✨
1. 🧤 Layer up like an onion! Bundle up with cozy sweaters, thermal socks, and insulated gloves to create your personal warmth fortress.
2. ☕ Hot beverages are your BFFs! Sip on steaming cups of cocoa, tea, or coffee to heat up from the inside out. Bonus points for snuggling up with a blanket.
3. 🍲 Warm meals, colder days! Embrace hearty soups, stews, and comfort foods to fuel your body and keep the winter blues at bay.
4. 🔥 Build a fortress of blankets! Create a cozy nest with fluffy blankets and throws to trap the heat and keep the frosty air at bay (my dog loves this the most).
5. 🚗 Pre-warm your ride! If you're venturing out, start your car a few minutes early to ensure a toasty commute. Your vehicle will thank you! And make sure to plug it in overnight, just don't forget to unplug it when you leave (I saw a lone blue extension cord on the road yesterday).
6. 🚶♀️ Keep it movin'! Physical activity generates heat, so get that blood pumping, whether a brisk walk around the house, the mall, or a lively 🕺💃dance party in your living room! Feel free to send invites. 😉
7. 🏡 Seal the leaks! Check for drafts around windows and doors, and seal them up to keep the cold air out and the warmth in. I found a great draft stopper that looks like a Weiner dog for a pesky under-door gap.
Remember, we're all in this deep freeze together! Share your favorite winter survival tips below and let's help each other stay toasty warm! 🔥❄️
