\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: The Department of Homeland security yesterday “took to its Twitter account to offer ‘tips\u2019 on how to deal with the winter weather.” Not only do football players not know that they can suffer injuries and get hurt, concussions, sprain their ankles, blow out a hamstring, maybe an ACL, a PCL, an MCL — all kinds of bad things that they didn\u2019t know — now the Department of Homeland Security is offering us tips on how to deal with winter weather, because we otherwise wouldn\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

The Big Sis, Janet Napolitano put out the tip sheet it and it says, “During winter storms and extreme cold stay inside during the storm.” When the storm isn\u2019t going on, you can go out. But during the storm, okay, snow, little white flakes that you see out there, maybe sleet, same thing as snow, except it\u2019s ice pellets, makes the streets and sidewalks slippery. Could be fog. When that happens, you are to stay inside. If you don\u2019t stay inside, if you go outside while it\u2019s snowing or sleeting, the next thing it says here is, “Walk carefully on snow and icy walkways.” Genuine Twitter tip sheet from the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

After you\u2019ve been told to stay indoors during the storm, or to walk carefully on snowy icy walkways if you go out during the snowstorm, you\u2019re to next avoid overexertion when you shovel snow. And there\u2019s a reason for that. Overexertion can bring on a heart attack and a heart attack can make you die. And, in fact, heart attacks brought on by overexertion are a major cause of death in the winter because people don\u2019t stay inside like the government says.<\/line><\/p>\n

So, if you are not going to stay indoors during the storm and if you\u2019re going to go out and you\u2019re walking carefully on the snowy icy walkways, and then if you decide to ignore the tip sheet here and shovel snow, stretch before you go outside. Do some stretching exercises. Isometrics up against the wall. But stretch out because this will lessen the possibility that you could get killed outside by virtue of having a heart attack because you\u2019re overexerting.<\/p>\n

And then above all, after all of that, next on the tip sheet, “Stay dry.” If you\u2019re not going to stay indoors during the storm. If you\u2019re going to walk carefully on the snow and ice, you\u2019re not going to overexert, stay dry. When it\u2019s snowing, it\u2019s raining, this goes for a hurricane, too, if it\u2019s windy out there, stay dry. Change wet clothing frequently. If you\u2019re outside walking around on the ice, make sure you go back inside every five minutes and put on a new shirt or something so that you don\u2019t lose your body heat. Wet clothing loses all of its insulating value and you can get a heart attack, if you get wet in the snow or the rain. So change clothes all the time. And there\u2019s even more to this that we didn\u2019t know…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
