Readers Offer Tips on Staying Warm in Frigid Temps

Baby it's cold outside but there are ways to keep the chill at bay.

With this past week's below, well below in some cases, freezing temperatures and a few more days of frigid cold to endure this week coming, Patch checked in with its Facebook friends to find out secrets to staying warm.

Suprisingly hot toddies didn't make the list, but some readers offered up some very sensible suggestions:

Lynn Klein's suggestion is to get warm winter clothing from L.L. Bean, while Tina Valetutti-Kraemer recommends underarmor.

A space heater under a work desk helps Nancy Longo Cochran but she admits "I'm still cold."

Kandy VanderVeer McDonald shares how her mother-in-law told her to put a heating pad on her feet.

"Worked like a charm!," she wrote to Patch.

And Tony Chliek had some simple advice.

"I stay home. Since I'm retired, that makes it very easy to do," he shared.

Staying home, and catching up on the Patch, can be a good way to keep out of the cold. But a hot toddie doesn't hurt either.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.

It's a drive-through bank.
