]]> January is typically the coldest month of the year.  This month, Johnson Law offers a series of information pieces on coping with the coldest months of the year. Protect yourself and your family or friends from the cold this winter. Cold temperatures can injure exposed skin, damage extremities, or lower the temperature of the body core, leading to death. Taking time before your winter excursion to be prepared and informed may take the “bite” out of your winter fun.

January Temperatures

January temperatures across Alaska typically range from -20°F to 40°F. In fact, Alaska experiences below-freezing temperatures for approximately one-third of the year. These prolonged cold conditions can create uncomfortable and dangerous situations. Therefore, preparation is essential. Cold-weather safety experts recommend taking precautions both at home and in your vehicle. By planning ahead and following these recommendations, you can protect yourself, stay warm, and better withstand freezing temperatures.

Being prepared for the coldest month of the year is very important for every environment, whether at home or in your vehicle.

January Safety in Your Car

January and the winter months demand extra attention to vehicle maintenance. After all, no one wants their car to break down during a snowstorm or in freezing temperatures. Before traveling in extreme cold, check your tires, fuel level, and emergency supplies to prepare for unexpected breakdowns.
