#frostbite

0 message0 participant0 message aujourd’hui
Our tent in a winter storm. High winds are especially dangerous during winter hikes, as they efficiently remove body heat, which can lead to frostbite or even hypothermia. They can also affect visibility, making navigation and movement difficult. If the winds get too strong, pitching a tent might become impossible, so it's important to be aware of the situation.

Recognizing and treating frostbite (from the Cleveland Clinic)

What are the stages of frostbite?

Frostbite symptoms appear in three stages that include feeling:

Cold, sore and painful (frostnip).
Pins and needles (surface frostbite).
Numbness (deep frostbite).

If you notice any of the symptoms of the second or third stages of frostbite, get immediate medical treatment to prevent long-lasting damage.

In #Denver it's currently 12 degrees but not actively snowing. Nor did it hit 6 inches of snowfall last night. Under the unrevised version of the city's policy, this is not severe enough for them to activate daytime #warming centers for the community, particularly those who are #homeless.
At this temp, #frostbite is possible in less than 15 mins. Hypothermia in 30 mins.
