NIGHT, FROSTBITE CAN SET UP 
WITHIN 30 MINUTES ON EXPOSED 
SKIN. 
STACEY SAGER IS LIVE IN NEW 
HYDE PARK WITH MORE ON THE RISK 
AND STAYING SAFE. 
STACEY? 
>> Reporter:  WELL, HI, DAVE. 
THE TEMPERATURE HASN'T DIPPED 
YET. 
THAT'S WHY WE ARE OUT HERE 
WITHOUT A HAT. 
WHEN IT DOES, THE DOCTORS HERE 
IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM TELL US 
THEY WILL SEE THREE DIFFERENT 
THINGS. 
VICTIMS FROM CAR ACCIDENTS 
UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE ROADS 
FREEZING UP, VICTIMS OF SLIPS 
AND FALLS BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T 
REALIZE IT HAS GOTTEN ICY 
OUTSIDE AND THEY WILL SEE 
PROBLEMS FROM EXPOSURE TO THE 
COLD. 
NOW, PRIMARILY THIS IS A 
PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WHO DO HAVE 
TO WORK OUTSIDE, NEED TO BE 
OUTSIDE FOR LONG AMOUNTS OF 
TIME. 
CAR WASHES, THEY WON'T BE OPEN 
TOMORROW. 
THE OWNER OF THIS CAR WASH 
TELLING US THE MIX OF THE 
FREEZING COLD AND WATER IS TOO 
DANGEROUS. 
THAT'S WHAT HE TOLD US. 
THE SUN IS OUT TODAY. 
IT'S OUT FOR A SHORT WHILE. 
IT MAY NOT BE SUNNY LATER THIS 
AFTERNOON. 
EXPERTS ARE TELLING US THAT 
PROLONGED EXPOSURE CAN 
CERTAINLY PUT YOU AT RISK FOR 
HYPOTHERMIA AND FROSTBITE. 
>> WHAT IS THE LONGEST TO BE 
OUTSIDE IN WEATHER LIKE WE ARE 
PROBABLY GOING TO SEE TOMORROW. 
>> I THINK A FEW MINUTES AT A 
TIME. 
OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO MINIMIZE 
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. 
10 TO 15 MINUTES IF YOU CAN. 
ANYTHING MORE THAN THOSE 
EXTREME -- THE EXTREME 
TEMPERATURES, GET INSIDE AND 
GET TO A WARMER ENVIRONMENT TO 
STAY WARM. 
>> Reporter: AND HERE IS 
SOMETHING ELSE BECAUSE EVERY 
YEAR WE GET THESE STORIES. 
THE PARTIALLY FROZEN PONDS LIKE 
THIS ONE IN HUNTINGTON STATION, 
DON'T GO OUT AND TEST THEM OUT. 
WE ARE NOT IN CHICAGO, PEOPLE. 
THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY FROZEN. 
ONCE AGAIN, THE TEMPERATURE 
HASN'T STARTED TO DIP JUST YET
