With widespread frost expected across northern and central Alabama, Georgia and points farther east and the cold winter season upon us, you might find this blog post from the National Forests blog on myths about cold weather interesting.  For example, did you know that you do not lose most of your heat from the top of your head?  Your head loses only about 10 percent of all heat, which is about the same proportion as the area of the head’s skin.  But cold weather can make extremities like ears and noses more susceptible to frostbite, so cover them up when the weather gets really nippy.
