Temperatures are expected to remain around feezing with wind chills in the teens for the rest of the week. As the winter chill sets in, here is some advice from fellow WNYC listeners on how to cope.

Christian Svanes Kolding, originally from Copenhagen, moved to the city from Los Angeles. He wrote in saying: 'We’ve dressed in multiple layers of thermals, fleece liners, and wool sweaters, topped off by an outer layer of windproof mountain expedition-strength jackets, so we can take an early morning jog along the Brooklyn promenade. Though the cheeks and nose are cold, the experience of seeing the world like this is amazing! Additionally, I ventured out early Saturday morning to play soccer with friends at Sara D. Roosevelt park in the Lower East Side, again decked out in multiple layers and hats. Once the blood gets flowing, it feels remarkable to be outside. The snow and the cold air burns the lungs, yet it feels invigorating.'

Roger Bonair-Agard wrote us to say, 'In 22 years of winters, nothing has been a better buffer against the cold than the Dickies full-length quilted coverall. I dress and I step into it and none of the Chicago wind can get at me. There are zippers up and down the legs, so I can reach into my pants pockets without having to take the thing off. The coverall itself has pant pockets and side-zippered breast pockets. Drawbacks? People are really taken aback when you start stepping out of your clothes in a bar.'

And of course there are the winter foods. Nancy Sathre-Vogel, who took time out from her bike tour from Alaska to Argentina (currently in Ecuador), suggests putting a few drops of cayenne pepper oil in tea.

The editor of the blog Glass Petal Smoke wrote us to suggest Sweet Plantain and Lentil Soup (with a few shots of hot sauce). She adds, 'Reading doesn't hurt either. I'm three books down to finishing Reaktion's 'Edible' series of food books and might have to re-read Harold McGee's 'On Food and Cooking' from cover to cover if the ice age keeps up.'

If you have any suggestions for food, clothing, or other ways to get through the coldest days of winter, we'd like to hear about it. Post your comments below or email us at newstips@wnyc.org.
