BALTIMORE COUNTY — A Baltimore County man's death is the first cold-related death this season in Maryland.
The man is estimated to be in the 70-80 age range.
The State's Department of Health monitors cold-related illnesses and deaths, each year from November through March.
To prevent cold-related illness, officials say Marylanders should avoid exposure to cold weather, both by limiting time outside and by wearing several layers of lightweight, insulated clothing.
