Extreme cold weather

Putting on my oxygen hose in below freezing temperature is very uncomfortable as the hose feels like ice. After awhile my body temp would warm it up but those 10 minutes or so is awful.

  1. That sounds horrible, . I'm getting chills just thinking about it. I hope this cold snap lets up soon and that we get some warmer weather. It's been too cold too long here in North Central PA for me. Warmest of wishes. - Lori (Team Member)

    1. Hi! I have two thoughts: Is it worth it to try putting the oxygen on before you go out, so you don't have to start with cold tubing?

      Second, I'm not sure how much it would help in this situation, but some of our members buy or make tube covers to help keep them warm.

      This winter has been extra cold it seems! Hang in there and stay warm! -Melissa, team member

      1. Can't put theO2° on trying to scrap the snow off the car etc. where do you buy tube covers, I want some. Thank you

        1. Hi. There are a variety of options that come up in a Google search. Some as low as $3 and others up to $10 or $12 -- depending on what you want. Please do let us know what you end up finding, as I am curious? John. community moderator.

      2. Yes, I found one on Google and ordered it. Thank you for the info. I will let you know how I like it

        1. Thank you for the update. Look forward to hearing how it works for you. All the best. John. community moderator.

        2. So glad you were able to get some covers! Any special color or pattern? If you decide you like them, there are some pretty neat designs out there. 😀 Crossing my fingers they help! -Melissa, team member
