Bitter

BrrRrr

By Arthur WaltonPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

How much you think it would cost if weather was something that was sold; For that matter, what would cost more, the extreme heat or the bitter cold?

Now which of the extremes would be the most expensive; In my opinion colder is worst just simply from how intensive.

With cold temperatures the chill to the bone you can feel is never anything nice; Add with that how the wind can cut through your body let alone if there is snow and ice.

he colder it is then mixed with any kind of wet precipitation; Can quickly lead to hypothermia plus possibly a hospital visitation.

Of course once your body temperature dips too low it could very well be a wrap; Sometimes there are things that occur being just to hard to bounce back

More than any other reason that is what helps makes the cold so scary; If it is cold enough and your car breaks down it can make survival a little hairy

Most definitely pays to be prepared with emergency rations on hand ;n the vehicle ; No such thing as having to many blankets to prevent you from becoming a pop cycle

Frozen in the spot where you sit would be an awful way to go; Slowly freezing to death would begin with your hands and toes

Once that has begun it is imperative to make sure you cover and warm your organs; Beginning with your heart then on around your body you go touring

Kidney and liver plus anything else you decide to be vital; Must stay warm since the weather can most certainly be homicidal

Clearly Mother Nature is responsible for countless deaths with each and every changing season; Does not matter if hot or cold ince the reaper of death needs to have a known reason

To claim a few times on any given day of the week or any certain night; No circumstances that I am aware of that would warrant giving up with out a fight

So now on to the opposite end of the weather spectrum; Speaking of course about heat and the effects created if unchecked as well as you let them

Start with most obvious thing that for me comes to mind; Catching a heat stroke can be lethal resulting in deaths all the time

If to be out in the heat you must be aware if the heat index starts getting inflation; So you must keep drinking liquids to help avoid succumbing to dehydration

To die of thirst, from freezing, drowning, or burning are some painful ways to no longer breathe; Just thinking of dying of thirst while also sweating to death to me is beyond crazy

Is it just me or is that a combination that ironic beyond my understanding; Only comparison can think of dehydration on a boat n the ocean while being stranded

How messed up it you can pass away unable to quench your thirst surrounded by plenty of water; Since salt water will dry your body out faster so you just have to be smarter

Like was said earlier must always be prepared regardless of time of the year; Many things can take us out yet I refuse to live my life in fear

So whether talking so cold that makes me not want to go outside to Smoke; Or the heat unbearable when you step outside in to it can make you choke

So in my eyes one is no worse than the other allowing the difference maker to be the details; Especially when you realize that dead is dead regardless what the autopsy report entails
