Why winter is not good?

Winter can mean trouble for people who suffer from asthma. Cold temperatures tend to keep people indoors, which means more exposure to air pollutants such as dust, dander, and mold that can trigger asthma attacks. It's not just indoor air quality that's the problem, though.

Who is black ice?

Understand that black ice is like regular ice.

It is a glaze that forms on surfaces (especially roads, sidewalks, and driveways) because of a light freezing rain or because of melting and re-freezing of snow, water, or ice on surfaces.

Does Hawaii have snow?

Yes, it snows in Hawaii, but only in places elevated above 10,000 feet. They include Haleakala, Mauna Loa, and Mauna Kea, the three highest volcanic mountains in this sun-kissed state. Other areas, such as Hualalai, Pu'u Kukui, and Kaunu o Kaleihoohie, get cold but do not receive snow.

Is it safe to eat snow?

Scientists have found that new snow can contain weird stuff including pesticides, soot and even nasties such as mercury and formaldehyde. All of these things are found at extremely low levels — which means it's technically safe to eat.

Is black ice black?

Black ice, sometimes called clear ice, is a thin coating of glaze ice on a surface, especially on roads. The ice itself is not black, but visually transparent, allowing the often black road below to be seen through it.

What causes black ice?

Black ice occurs when temperatures rise above freezing and causes snow on the grown to melt and road surfaces to become wet. The temperature then drops below freezing, which turns the moisture on the road to ice. This also happens after rain, as puddles can freeze to become black ice.

Is it bad to be cold?

Cold weather can put increased stress on our cardiovascular system. Cold temperatures cause your blood vessels to constrict, shallow breathing, and a slight thickening of the blood. These changes can cause chest pain in people with heart disease.

How cold can the human body get?

Coldest temperature

The average body temperature is 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. At an internal temperature of 95 degrees, humans can experience hypothermia, shivering and pale skin. At 86 degrees, they become unconscious and, at 77 degrees, cardiac arrest can occur.

Is cold air good for your lungs?

Cold and Dry

Cold weather, and particularly cold air, can also play havoc with your lungs and health. Cold air is often dry air, and for many, especially those with chronic lung disease, that can spell trouble. Dry air can irritate the airways of people with lung diseases.
