A lot of people have been complaining about this bitterly cold stretch of weather, the even colder temperatures in the forecast for Thursday and Friday and the additional snow chances.

I thought it would be interesting to come up with a list of things that may not be a good idea to do in this cold weather or in the snow. I asked a bunch of people at the station and here is what we came up with. Please post your cold weather and snow “bad ideas” in the comments below.

On the serious side, wind chills will be dangerous cold over the next couple of days. The wind chill chart below shows frostbite times for exposed skin.

It may not be a good idea to…

Stick your tongue to a metal pole

Jump into the water with the Polar Bear Club

Run across the KU or K-State campus in your underwear (not talking about long johns)

Make a snow angel in your birthday suit

Let your kids run through the sprinklers
