Cold weather does me bad as well. That is why I live down here. I cant handle the cold anymore. My suggestion, move down here in the south where it doesn't get as cold. LOL. Wrap a scarf around your mouth and nose. Serves three purposes. It keeps your face warmer which keeps your body warmer, it makes it a little easier to breath in the cold winter air, and it is fashionable.

For some people the cold air does make it harder to breathe. Good suggestions include wrapping your face, nose and mouth in a scarf and breathing through that. You could also wear a mask; anything that might warm the air up a bit for you will help.

Suspending dampened towel over a heating vent helps to put moisture into the air.

Cotton mouth? Hmmm, maybe should lay off the Columbian Redbud. LMAO
