This information is by a training coach: It is perfectly safe to run through the winter as long as you take a few precautions. There is no danger to your lungs because the cold air you breathe is warmed by the time it gets into your lungs. You need to wear proper running attire. Recommended are going to your area's running specialty stores where they can help you figure out the proper gear. You want to run with light layers of clothes that breathe instead of running with bulky sweat clothes. When running in very cold weather, try to run into the wind at the beginning and end your run with a tailwind. If it is really windy and cold, put Vaseline on your face to protect it. If you start out with a tailwind, you will overheat and be chilled when you turn around and head back into the wind. Also, be very careful of your footing if there is any ice or snow on the ground. If there is, shorten your stride and take short, choppy steps. Be particularly careful if you are an early morning runner because it is hard to see slippery patches of ice. Keep in mind that the first 4 - 5 minutes in cold weather is uncomfortable, but once you get going you will become very warm.

What do you call lines that run east and west north and south of the equator?

Lines of longitude run vertically from the north pole to the south pole. The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) runs through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England. Lines that run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude) are lines of latitude.


What is feedback and how does it relate to property of life - regulation?

If you think of a thermostat, it doesn't keep a space at the exact temperature you set but starts when the temperature falls below a that point and turns off when the that point is reached. The same occurs in the body. You have a thermostat there as well. Your body temperature can be below 98.6 or above but your body responds by bringing the body back to the set point. You will sweat to cool and shiver to warm. This called feedback. Many other systems run on feedback.

Why don't rivers run dry during long periods of freezing temperatures I understand that running water won't freeze but surely at the sources it would freeze and not enter the river?

most river sources are from underground springs. The water temperature in the spring is the temperature of the earth below the frost line. When water enters a river it is insulated from the air temperature by the surface ice so it continues to flow. In addition, the water in the river has insulated the river bed so that it maintains temperatures of the earth below and not the air above.

What is the normal oil pressure for a car to run safe?

From 20 to 40 pounds PSI when the engine is at full operating temperature is normal. Any reading below 20 PSI may be cause for alarm.


What is the optimal temperature for a GPU?

The maximum "safe" operating temperature is 90 degrees Celsius. however, it should be well below this for the most part. most run from about 40 degrees idle to mid to high 80s under load. However, for serious overclocking, the lower the better. There are systems that lower the temp to close to -273 degrees which is close to absolute zero. This is the point at which matter no longer moves (all matter is constantly vibrating, you just cant see it)


The temperature -273 degrees Celsius is called?

That is called "absolute zero". It is the starting point of the Kelvin temperature scale.That is called "absolute zero".

Why does the radiator fan keeps spinning when the key is not on the igni tion?

The fan is run off a thermostat. Even when the car is shut off, this fan will run until the temperature of the thermostat gets below its set temperature.

Can you run your refrigerator without the evaporator fan for a day or so?

Yes You can run your refrigerator for a few days without the cooling fan running. But your cooling efficiency will not be enough to keep food at a safe storage temperature. You will not be able to keep your food storage below 50 degrees or so. Also the running temperature of the compressor will raise and begin to self destruct. As soon as you notice this happening, call a reputable service man as soon as possible.

How far below the normal body temperature is safe?

Although 98.6 has long been set as the "normal" body temperature, body temp can fluctuate yet still be within normal range for that person. For example, one person may consistently run 97.6 and be okay. Another person may feel very feverish with a temp of 99.0, just 0.10 higher than "normal". However, body temp below 96 requires medical intervention.


What is the minimum temperature an air conditioner compressor should be run at?

There really is no minimum, a compressor will run whenever it is told to. Though operating an air cooled machine in temps below 55 or so invites problems.
