The wind chills that many of you are experiencing can cause frostbite within 60 to 90 seconds. Dress in layers, and keep the wind (as much as possible) off of your skin. Cover up, and limit your exposure.
Stay warm, and stay safe.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

When it is snappy on the cheeks, keep the cheeks covered. A balaclava may be your best bet. I have a few scattered around my vehicle, go to bag, and apartment.
And don't forget a good pair (or two) of gloves!
Wool long johns are your friend. The good news is they are on sale on L L Bean...I had gotten myself some, and then went and ordered some for Mom as well as she can't handle any cold at all due to a medical condition. They are sooo much better than they used to be, nice and soft, not scratchy at all!! And lovely warm.
Layers, and wind-proof top layer with a hood!
I keep trying to tell my husband that.
Interesting new header. Didn't seem I should comment before now.
Is it an abandoned mine of some sort?
Hope you are all well.
Be safe and God bless.
Reverend, it will interesting to see how everyone approaches preparing for next Winter.
I believe a great many people have suddenly been awakened to the fact that preparing is always in style.
WSH - very important point; thanks.
drjim - likewise.
Suz - there's a saying up here: "Cotton kills; wear wool." And thanks for the suggestion re: long johns.
Linda - it's part of the old Independence Mine at Hatcher Pass, north of Palmer.
TB - the problem with prepping for something that happens only once or twice a generation is that most folks forget about it. But they're sure thinking about it now!
I lived in Anchorage from 1978 to 2000, I loved to go up to Hatcher Pass and let the dogs run. They ran themselves ragged chasing pikas. This was before it became a state park, you could go into some of the buildings.
Hi, John. Welcome! I left in ‘77, and came back in ‘03. Alaska was very different when we returned, but some of the buildings at the mine are still open.
