that is the worst.....going out in the cold during these storms & starting to sweat......that was what got to me in the ice storm & almost ended up with hypothermia.....I was so sweating after feeding my neighbors 20 horses....came into my freezing house with no electricity & no heat & started to shiver so bad. Initially I was afraid to take off the cloths I had on because of thinking how cold I would be before betting on dry cold cloths. I actually started to sort of black out from how cold I was....finally a little voice in my head told me GET THOSE CLOTHS OFF....quick threw on dry cloths & wrapped up in all the blankets & my dogs & got as warm as I possibly could.

It's important to be very careful & not leave on the wet cloths that we have been sweating in & keeping as warm as possible (hopefully the electricity stays on).

Can really see how people try to push themselves shoveling snow when they haven't been doing any exercise...it's just something you feel you HAVE to do......many heart attacks to occur because of this.

Take care everyone.....the one good thing is that each day is closer to spring & melting away all the load of snow that we have gotten this winter. Even down here in KY, we have had more snow than in many past years according to everyone who has been living here. Think I heard in the Farmers Almanac that it was supposed to be a snowy winter....lol....I never believe them until I see it actually happen....guess they weren't too far off. Maybe I will listen to what they have to say next time.....but wouldn't have done anything different anyway......some things just are......the weather is one of those things
