Hello! Snow ❄ is hitting many parts of the northeast. The snow can be beautiful to look at but the extreme cold air can but the cold can make things challenging for those with chronic lung conditions . The cold air can cause bronchospasms making breathing more difficult for some people. The wisest thing that you can do to protect yourself in the cold weather is to be prepared, whether that's having an inhaler regiment for a few days in case of an emergency or having a portable charged up or battery operated nebulizer if needed. If  you have to outside, breathe in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.Your nose does a better job at warming the air than your mouth.Wear a scarf to wrap around your nose and  mouth. Avoid exercising outdoors. Get someone to assist you with snow removal if possible. Breathing heavier during exercise in cold weather can increase symptoms of asthma, or chronic lung conditions.
