Homemade ice-claws
When I moved to college in Idaho as a teenager, I had a really quick introduction into a new world of snow and ice. While the snow I grew up with was wet and heavy, and usually melted away pretty quick in the moderate temperature. Idaho however introduced me to the bitter hard-freeze that left our campus with an amazing array of forms of ice that were completely new to me. I, as with many of my fellow students, became intimately familiar with this ice while performing the splits, or landing on my back when trying to hurry between classes.

Hypothermia - Signs and Symptoms and Treatment
<img src="file:///C:/Users/Phil/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/Users/Phil/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png" alt="" /><a href="/images/uploads/2011/02/hypothermia.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3429" title="hypothermia" src="/images/uploads/2011/02/hypothermia.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="199" /></a>With more than half the country being inundated by massive snow and ice storms and much of the rest of the country having below freezing temperatures, people are at a very high risk for Hypothermia. Knowing what Hypothermia is and how to treat it not only prepares you to help yourself but most importantly, to help others. I've consulted several resources to try to put together a very comprehensive overview of Hypothermia. Those resources include the<a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hypothermia/DS00333"> Mayo Clinic</a>, my EMT Training Manuals, the<a href="http://www.bt.cdc.gov/disasters/winter/pdf/cold_guide.pdf"> CDC Guidelines for Hypothermia</a> and the <a href="http://www.hypothermia.org/Hypothermia_Ed_pdf/Alaska-Cold-Injuries.pdf">State of Alaska Cold Injuries Guidelines </a>(Alaska knows more about Hypothermia than anybody, their standards are what we use here for Search and Rescue).<!--more-->

Winter/Snow Driving Preps, Part 1 of 3, Prepping Your Vehicle
<img class="alignright" src="http://www.ratemyeverything.net/image/8723/0/Car_in_Snow.ashx" alt="" width="282" height="205" />Here in Utah, Winter is finally upon us! This generally means we get to share the road with a bunch of inexperienced snow drivers who think it's safer, not more dangerous, to drive 15 miles an hour on the freeway. Hopefully, all those people will read this post and we'll fix the I15 problem right here and now! Yeah right. But for you, dear reader, I offer some advice on how to prep your vehicle for winter, what to stash in your vehicle and some driving tips. Hopefully you'll have some sage advice to add to this in the comments.
