With the help of Stacker.com, we would like to share with you 12 Ways To Prepare for Winter
· Learn the three major winter weather warnings:
Winter Storm Watch – lowest level, potentially hazardous conditions.
Winter Weather Advisory is issued when ice, snow or wintry mix is expected.
Winter Storm Warning is issued when a significant amount of winter weather is expected (school closures and offices closing for the day).
Make an emergency plan with your family.
Pack a ‘go’ bag of essentials you need to leave the house in an emergency.
Make sure to have a warm coat, weatherproof gloves and insulated winter boots with good traction, warm hat, scarf and other winter accessories.
Layer up – under garments are just as important as outer layers.
Create an emergency supply kit and prepare a three-day supply of food and water.
Keep rock salt on hand to help with icy, slippery walkways. A bag of sand is also helpful.
Having a solid snow shovel and windshield ice scraper is highly recommended.
Make sure you have at least ½ tank of gas and winterize your car.
Block drafts beneath your doors.
Check your smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector.
Finally, don’t forget about our furry friends. Make sure to keep enough food for them too.
