Try to keep your nose and mouth covered by using a scarf or one of those cool looking ski masks. This ensures that you're breathing in warmer air. The bitter cold weather can do a number on your lungs. Keep your head covered as well, because over half of your body's heat is released through your head in cold weather. Good luck. -------------- May the lift be with you.

The problem for you is you are coming from a warm to cold climate. jdelts is right. Try to keep your mouth and nose covered. You might even consider running on a treadmill as much as that sucks.
