"Winter is a season of recovery and preparation." ~ Paul Theroux
Growing up on Long Island, I can recall the cold winters when I would long for and daydream about the first bloom of spring. I would relish the vacation my family and I would take each year during winter break to enjoy someplace warm and sunny on the beach.
Though I am still not a fan of temperatures that drop below 40 degrees, as I have matured, I have come to appreciate each of the four seasons that we are blessed to experience here on Long Island. When you lean into moments, you can make them beautiful and memorable. Activities like sledding or snowboarding with my son, sitting by a warm crackling fire with a blanket and a good book, whipping up heartier meals, making snow angels and sipping a mug of hot coca are just some of the cherished moments I now look forward to during the winter months. February is the month of fluffy pajamas and socks, warm mittens and scarfs, and taking in the splendor of a Winter Wonderland on our beautiful and magical island. This month, I will be throwing caution to the wind and going ice skating for the first time in years. Wish me luck!

T
he arrival of cooler temperatures sparks various changes. Chilly air and precipitation can be dangerous, especially to pets that are unaccustomed to extreme changes in temperature and weather conditions.
Pet owners may be well aware of the hazards of warm weather, including the threat of leaving pets in hot cars. But cold weather also has its share of health and safety risks. Heed these tips to keep pets safe and secure during winter months: Schedule a well visit. The American Veterinary Medical Association suggests scheduling a visit with a veterinarian to check for any existing medical issues. Cold weather can aggravate symptoms of certain conditions, particularly in older pets, such as arthritis. A thorough routine examination can shed light on potential problems so you can be proactive. Keep homes humidified. Going in and out of the house and moving from cold air to dry indoor heat can affect pets’ skin. Itching and flaking may result, causing pets to scratch at such areas. Habitual scratching of dry, raw skin can potentially lead to infections. Maintain humidity in the home for comfort. The ASPCA also says to reduce bathing to help preserve essential oils on the skin.
Provide options for sleeping. Come the winter, cats and dogs may need new sleep spaces to avoid drafts and stay warm. Give them other spots they can call their own.
Consider a sweater or vest. Some pets are more tolerant to the cold than others. However, some dogs and cats may benefit from a sweater, vest or coat designed for pets to offer a little more insulation. Update identification and contact information. Snow and ice can mask scent cues that help pets find their way home. Update contact information and make sure pets’ collars are on tightly.
Keep coolant and antifreeze locked away. Coolant and antifreeze are lethal to dogs and cats and should be kept out of reach. Clean up any spills from vehicles promptly. Provide fresh food and water. Pets may burn more calories trying to stay warm during winter months. Be sure that your animal has a little extra food accessible, and plenty of water to stay sated and hydrated.
Protect paws outdoors. Pet paws are sensitive to sand, ice, snow, and chemical ice melts. Massage petroleum jelly or another protectant onto paw pads, or consider the use of pet booties. EDITION ONE
Keep pets indoors more often. Pets should not remain outdoors for long stretches of time in frigid temperatures, even if they are accustomed to roaming during other seasons, advises The Humane Society of the United States.
Winter weather requires pet owners to make changes so pets can remain happy and safe.

The Origins of Popular Winter Sports
M
any people spend winter huddled indoors. For winter sports enthusiasts, however, the arrival of snow and chilly temperatures means the start of a season of outdoor fun. Those who see winter as a time to embrace their love of sport may appreciate learning more about some of the sports that are most popular during the colder months of the year.
Ice Hockey
Hockey is one of the most popular winter sports. In 1994, Parliament passed the Canada’s National Sport Act, which declared hockey the official national winter sport of Canada. The origins of ice hockey are somewhat uncertain, though some historians claim the first set of rules to govern the sport were written by students at Montreal’s McGill University in the 1870s.
Downhill (Alpine) Skiing
Snowsports Industries America indicates that, in the 2014-2015 season, more than nine million American Alpine skiers took to the slopes, and the sport continues to attract new devotees each year.
Historians state that skiing evolved as a method to cross the landscape in the winter when marshlands froze over. Cave drawings suggest that man used skis during the last Ice Age in the Palaeolithic period. Yet the birth of modern downhill skiing is often traced to the 1850s when Norwegian legend Sondre Norheim popularized skis with curved sides and made skiing a sport instead of just a mode of transport. Skiing ultimately became quite popular in Russia, Finland, Sweden, and Norway. Today there are various types of downhill skiing, including mountain skiing, extreme cat skiing and heli skiing.
and Perth, dating all the way back to the year 1511.
Ice skating
Speed skating and figure skating are derivatives of early ice skating, which is believed to have started in Finland more than 3,000 years ago.
influenced this sport by adding edges to steel blades around the 13th or 14th centuries. Eventually, ice skating was brought to England from the Netherlands.
Winter sports draw millions of enthusiastic participants, each year around the globe, giving people a reason to leave the house, even when temperatures dip below freezing.
Skates were made from sharpened, flattened leg bones, strapped to the bottom of a shoe and used to glide on top of the ice. The Dutch
Curling
Curling may now be seen as a largely Canadian sport, but it is widely believed to be one of the world’s oldest team sports, tracing its origins to Great Britain. The World Curling Federation states paintings by the 16th Century Flemish artist Pieter Bruegel portrayed an activity similar to curling being played on Scotland’s frozen ponds. The earliest known curling stones came from the Scottish regions of Stirling

Stay Safe and Warm During Winter Workouts
A
thletes devoted to outdoor workouts do not abandon their routines when winter rears its chilly head. While it can be difficult to embrace the great outdoors when temperatures hover around freezing, maintaining your motivation bodes well for your fitness goals the rest of the year. Staying warm is a top priority for athletes who exercise outdoors during winter months. While there’s no guarantee winter winds won’t test your willpower, there are ways to stay warm when working out in colder climates.
For years, many people subscribed to the conventional wisdom that suggested people lose 40 to 45 percent of their body heat through their heads. But in 2008, researchers at Indiana University debunked that myth, suggesting that if humans lost that much heat through their heads, they would be just as cold when going outside without a hat on as they would be if they left home without wearing any pants. But wearing headgear when exercising outdoors is still a good idea, as the head is more sensitive to changes
in temperature than many other areas of the body. A wool hat you can pull down over your ears can protect them from getting too cold. Athletes may also want to consider ski masks or other facial covers that can protect their faces.
Layering has long been a reliable way to beat the cold when temperatures are at their lowest. But layering must be done correctly to be effective. When choosing your workout gear, choose an inner layer that will move moisture away from your skin. Cotton retains moisture, and that means your sweat will cling to your body and make you feel cold. Once you find a shirt made with moisture-wicking material to wear against your skin, look for a second layer that also wicks moisture so you can more effectively control your body temperature. Your outer layer should be capable of handling the elements, so look for something that is waterproof and wind-resistant.
choosing workout socks, avoid cotton socks that don’t wick moisture away from your feet. Acrylic can be more effective at wicking moisture away from your feet than cotton.
Know your weather reports. While it’s admirable to stay on course with your outdoor workouts in the winter, don’t allow your devotion to overtake your common sense.
Check the forecast before beginning an outdoor exercise, paying particular attention to the wind chill. According to the Mayo Clinic, frostbite can occur when skin is exposed to wind chill levels below minus 18 F for 30 minutes. If need be, shorten outdoor workout routines and find ways to exercise indoors when wind chills get dangerously low.
Feet can easily succumb to cold temperatures when exercising outdoors, but you can employ the same strategy with your socks that you do with your layers. When

Protect Your Home From Winter's Freeze
F
reezing temperatures may be good for ice skating or building snowmen, but sub-freezing temperatures can be dangerous for the average person and his or her home.
Cold weather often leaves people scurrying to do whatever is necessary to safeguard themselves from the big chill. But it’s important
that homeowners also protect their homes in cold weather: Plumbing and pipes may be vulnerable to cold weather. Frozen pipes can burst and cause substantial damage to a home, potentially causing flooding and structural damage. Homeowners should disconnect and drain garden hoses. Water to outdoor hose bibs should be turned
off, though the valves on these outdoor faucets should be left open to drain. Also, outdoor faucets can be covered with insulating foam covers.
The Red Cross says pipes that freeze most frequently include pipes in unheated areas, such as basements, attics, garages, and crawl spaces. Close vents to the outside in areas like attics and basements to limit the amount of cold air that gets indoors. Think about insulating unheated areas, as well as using pipe sleeves, heat tape or wraps on exposed pipes. By opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors, homeowners can allow warm air from a home to reach pipes under the sink. During extreme freezes, keep cold water dripping from a sink to prevent pipes from freezing
hot water heaters. Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, install a clean air filter and make sure all thermostats are working properly. Homeowners who heat their homes with oil, wood or coal should make sure they have plenty of fuel on hand. Shortages can occur, and it may take some time for new fuel to arrive in the midst of a cold snap.
As a precaution, homeowners can rely on portable space heaters to fill in the heating gaps during the most freezing temperatures. Exercise extreme caution with these devices, by purchasing a portable heater that safeguards against overheating. Also be sure to read the enclosed directions, turn off the heater when leaving the room and remembering to avoid overloading outlets.
It’s important to ensure that heating systems are working properly. It may only take hours for the interior of a home to reach dangerously low temperatures without adequate heat. Homeowners should schedule annual checkups of furnaces and

Weigh out your flour. Or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Add the flour to the cookie mixture, stirring to combine. Mix in the chips and cocoa nibs. Drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets — a teaspoon cookie scoop works well here. Space the cookies at least two inches apart. Bake the cookies for 8 to 9 minutes, until the surface is set, but the cookies aren't quite fully baked.
Take the cookies out of the oven and press a chocolate disk into the center of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes longer, until the chocolate begins to turn shiny and softens. Remove the cookies from the oven once again, and sprinkle the melted chocolate disk with your garnish of choice. Allow the cookies to cool right on the baking sheet until the chocolate disks are set. Store wellwrapped cookies at room temperature for a week or so; freeze for longer storage.

Hypothermia
T
he arrival of cold weather provides opportunities to romp in the snow, ski the slopes or enjoy an afternoon of ice skating. But spending time outdoors in the cold or even in an indoor space that is not adequately heated can result in a serious health condition known as hypothermia. Hypothermia is defined as a potentially dangerous decrease in body temperature that is usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold conditions. Outdoors enthusiasts’ risk for hypothermia increases as winter progresses and temperatures drop even further. However, hypothermia can occur other times of the year if the body is chilled. For example, hypothermia can occur when boats capsize and boaters are suddenly tossed into a body of water, or when hikers get caught in the rain during evening hikes. WebMD says normal body temperature is 98.6 F (37 C), and hypothermia begins when body temperature falls below 95 F (35 C). When the body reaches lower temperatures, this can affect the heart, nervous system and certain organs, advises The Mayo Clinic. If left untreated, hypothermia may lead to cardiac and respiratory arrest.

Early symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, fast breathing, cold and pale skin, tiredness, confusion, and slurred speech. As body temperatures drop, shivering may stop and a person may faint.

for protection. Hypothermia also may develop when people get wet or are caught unaware of changes in weather. Wind removes body heat effectively, and direct contact with cold surfaces also can bring on hypothermia more quickly.
Infants and the elderly may be at a higher risk of hypothermia because their bodies aren’t attuned to regulating temperature. Older adults may suffer hypothermia, for example, after spending several hours in a house with no heat during a power outage. The Mayo Clinic adds that certain medical conditions affect the body’s ability to regulate body temperature, and certain medications may elevate risk as well. To prevent hypothermia, health experts advise remembering the acronym COLD: Cover, Overexertion, Layers, Dry.
Cover: Wear protective coverings, including mittens and hats. Overexertion: Avoid activities that cause sweating. Layers: Loose-fitting, layered clothing can offer protection from the cold and wind. Wool, silk or polypropylene insulate more effectively than cotton.
Dry: Remaining as dry as possible is essential. Children and the elderly may need to wear an extra layer or two than healthy adults would wear in the same conditions.
Taking precautions to stay warm and dry, and knowing the signs of a drop in body temperature, can help individuals stay safe

An Environmentally Friendly St. Patrick's Day
G
reen is the color most associated with St. Patrick’s Day, and green also can be the primary mindset of hosts and hostesses when planning Paddy’s Day revelry. As celebrants prepare to pay homage to Irish culture and the accomplishments of St. Patrick, they can include eco-conscious practices in the festivities.
For many people, St. Patrick’s Day is a day to let loose and have a good time. Parades are abundant, and food and drink often are enjoyed in copious amounts. While this excess can make for a fun and raucous day, those who are conscious of their carbon footprints can scale back in some clever ways.
Enjoy a Local Brew. While many may prefer a pint of Ireland-brewed Guinness on St. Patrick’s Day, imported beers have larger carbon footprints than local beers thanks to trans-Atlantic shipping and delivery to nearby retailers. Instead of Guinness, consider a locallybrewed beer. Homespun breweries are a growing niche business in communities big and small. If you’re more adventurous, invest in a homebrewing kit and try your luck with your own flavor profile.
Skip the confetti or ticker tape. Attending a parade can be the pinnacle of St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. When so many people gather in one place, there’s a greater propensity for waste and litter. Although garbage cannot be avoided, towns and cities can help curtail the mess by avoiding confetti, balloon drops and ticker tape. Birds routinely get snagged by balloon strings, or they may inadvertently
swallow popped latex balloons thinking they’re food. Confetti can wash away into storm drains or clog sewers. Bubbles, laser lights and other plastic- or paper-free items can be used instead and are better for the environment.
Invest in reusable products. If your’s is the go-to house for St. Patrick’s Day revelry, purchase tablecloths, dishes and cups that can be used again and again. This cuts down on the number of disposable items that get put in the trash and eventually find their way into landfills.
Transform your leftovers. Irish soda bread, corned beef, potatoes and much more are par for the culinary course come St. Patrick’s Day. Rather than discarding leftovers, consider recipes that will put those leftovers to good use. Dice up the corned beef to add to egg dishes or quiches. Post-Paddy’s Day sandwiches also make a delicious treat. Potatoes can be mashed and transformed into croquettes. Or they can be diced to make hash browns to go with those corned beefenhanced eggs. Spread soda bread with a sweet jam and instantly turn it into a dessert. Or crumble the bread to use in a delicious bread pudding.

Preparing for a Sledding Adventure
BROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LAB WORKERS W/CANCER 1947 -1993 $150,000-$400,000
If you worked on-site at the lab for 250 workdays between 1947 and 1993 for Associated Universities, the AEC/DOE, or a subcontractor, or were a researcher living on-site at Brookhaven National Lab, and were later diagnosed with one of 23 specified types of cancer, I will help you, or direct survivors, get a six figure entitlement award. Awards range from $150,000 to $400,000, and include worker medical benefits, including home health care. This is a taxpayer funded entitlement for DOE workers/survivors. It involves no liability to any employer and is not a lawsuit. Since 2007 I’ve done this nationally for 3,000 sick DOE workers or their survivors. I have helped more than half of the 928 paid BNL families receive their cancer awards. Non-cancer respiratory and renal disease cases are also possible. Let me ask a few simple questions. I’ll give you a frank (and free) assessment as to whether I can help. I’m not a lawyer and this is no lawsuit. I am a national expert on EEOICPA entitlement. I unravel the frustrating red tape so you don’t have to. You get paid directly by the U.S. Treasury. My fee is so modest L.I. lawyers hire me to do the work for their own family members.

Sledding has been part of snowy celebrations for ages. Sledding is a fun-filled activity, but it can be made an even better time, and a little safer, if revelers learn a little more about it. Sled styles: Sleds come in many different styles, each with its own advantages. Sleds with metal blades will work like ice skates, balancing riders’ weight on two metal runners. These sleds can work well during icy conditions or with hard-packed snow. Toboggans can fit multiple people, which can increase the fun factor and downhill speeds. Saucer-style sleds are good for one or two people. Foam liners on some saucers can absorb shock for riders, making those downhill bumps a little easier on the backside. Keep in mind that sleds with steering mechanisms are easier to control, which can equate to safer sledding. Layer up: It is best to dress in layers when going sledding Even if it seems warm at home, it may be colder and windier at the top of hills. Sweating when it’s cold out can increase a person’s risk for hypothermia. According to experts at Timberline Trails, a person who works up a sweat and comes in contact with ambient air when taking a break will feel an immediate chill. This is called evaporative

danger, and can be remedied by dressing in layers and trying to stay dry.
Invest in a helmet: Sledding requires the use of a helmet. At high speeds, a blow to the head can cause a concussion or worse. Let others go first: Wait until some sledders have already gone downhill, allowing them to compact the snow, which should make for a smooth ride.
Choose safe hills, such as those that are free of bare spots, holes, trees, and obstructions, and do not end abruptly at a road. Hills with a long, flat areas at the end make for easy, safe stopping. Safety first: Put safety first when sledding. Sled during the daytime so visibility is better. Keep arms and legs on the sled, and only sled feetfirst, advises the National Safety Council.
By keeping these guidelines in mind, sledders can make sure this popular winter activity is as safe as it is fun.

Whip Up Something Sweet For Your
Sweetheart
Certain times of year give everyone license to indulge in sweets. No day of the year is more sweets-friendly than Valentine’s Day!
Heart-shaped boxes of chocolate are ubiquitous come mid-February. While no chocolate devotee is liable to scoff at a box of delicious chocolates, lovers who want to hit a home run with their sweets-loving sweetheart can try their hand at crafting their own confectionary concoction this Valentine’s Day. This recipe for “Chocolate Cardamom Truffle Cake” from Maxine Clark’s “Chocolate” (Ryland, Peters & Small) will amaze that special someone. This recipe serves 10-12.
• Amaretti Base
• 5 ounces amaretti • 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter • 5 tablespoons sugar
Cardamom Truffle Filling
• 2 1/3 cups heavy cream • 4 to 6 green cardamom pods, lightly bruised to open them 25 ounces dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa solids), grated • 1⁄2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cubed
Cardamom Cocoa Sugar
• 3 green cardamom pods • 1/4 cup sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa • 1 10-inch cake pan with a removable base, base and sides lined with nonstick parchment paper
DIRECTIONS
To make the amaretti base, finely crush the amaretti in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Melt the butter and sugar in a pan over low heat, then stir in the amaretti crumbs. Press the mixture evenly over the base of the prepared cake pan and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
To make the cardamom truffle filling, put the cream and cardamom pods in a pan and heat until almost boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to infuse for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a saucepan. Strain the infused cream through a fine strainer onto the chocolate (the cream will be warm enough to melt the chocolate). If it doesn’t melt, warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally, but do not allow to boil. Stir in the liqueur, then set aside until almost cold, but not set. With an electric mixer, beat the chocolate mixture for a couple of minutes — this will give the cake a lovely airy texture. Pour onto the amaretti base. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or up to 48 hours before serving.
To make the cardamom cocoa sugar, remove the black seeds from the papery cardamom pods and put the seeds in a spice grinder with the sugar and cocoa. Grind to a powder. Carefully remove the cake from the pan and peel off the lining paper. Set on a chilled serving plate and sift the cardamom cocoa sugar evenly over the top. Serve immediately, cut into very thin slices.
DELISH! This recipe for “Chocolate Cardamom Truffle Cake” from Maxine Clark’s “Chocolate” (Ryland, Peters & Small) will amaze that special someone and make this Valentine’s Day extra special. www.seasonsmagazineonline.com
