Winter storms can be very very dangerous depending on the severity and where you live. If there is a blizzard outside, chances are, you're better off at home staying warm and cozy. Winter storms can be so severe, they can go on for several days at a time. With that said, it's important to be as prepared as possible before one hits so that you can be as comfortable as possible. During these storms, temperatures can drop extremely low, there may be freezing rain, and it can also be very windy out.
Sense a winter storm coming your way?
Be sure to prepare for it by doing the following:
Make sure your home is well-insulated to keep the cold air, snow, and rain out.
Ensure that you have working heaters to stay warm at home.
Keep your pets indoors.Have several layers handy and dress warmly.
Don't forget hats, mittens, and scarves!
Go out as infrequently as possible.
Traveling during a winter storm is not safe and accidents are much more prone to happening.
If you must travel, be sure to have your emergency kit on hand and ready for use.
Stay tuned with weather updates by listening to the radio.
Keep your car's gas tank full as this will prevent the fuel line from freezing when parked outside your home or in the garage.
Wear waterproof/rain boots if you must walk in the snow or rain.
