December 17, 2014 I've lived in Western New York my entire life. I've been through the October storm and Snowvember and this year I have felt colder than ever. Is it really that much colder now than it was when I was a kid? According to LiveScience.com, there are a few things that could be adding to that chill.
While the polar vortex that has taken over the country has made life frigidly miserable for some, it's created the opportunity for fun for others.
With the wind and the rain and the cold temperatures, it was pretty nasty over the weekend. Some areas saw some snow. It’s a reminder that winter is close.
We’re known nationally for some pretty nasty winters, but our weather doesn't come close to what people in some other parts of the world experience.
I’ve been struggling thru a cold this week and a friend e-mailed me an article on the virtues of honey and its amazing healing power. And it was suggested a combination of honey and cinnamon does wonders to get rid of a cold. The recommendation is take one tablespoon of lukewarm honey with ¼ tablespoon of cinnamon powder for three days. It’ll cure chronic cough, get rid of the dold and clear the sinuses.
Sounds ok, but there’s more.
January 9, 2013 It’s that time again, cold and flu season. I’ve been lucky so far (knock on wood) and haven’t had a major cold or caught the flu but I’m thinking my luck will run out at some point. I’m not one to stock up on over the counter medicines when I’m sick, I just fight through with rest lots of liquids and sleep usually.
December 1, 2012 The flu and the common cold are both respiratory illnesses caused by different viruses. Because these two types of illnesses often mimic each other's symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them.
