CDC says to wear several layers of loose fitting clothing under a water resistant coat and boots. Cover your head, neck and face with a hat and scarf, and wear mittens or gloves. Shivering, confusion, clumsy hands and slurred speech are warning signs of hypothermia. Get medical help right away if you see them.
