If you have to go outside dress for the conditions. Dressing in layers is the best way to deal with these temperatures since you can add or remove clothing to regulate your body temperature.
Young children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, people working or exercising outdoors, and those without proper shelter are at greatest risk when extreme clod sets in.
