As we prepare for a Winter Storm Watch this weekend, with at least 6 inches of snow expected, it’s important to take steps now to stay safe and comfortable. Completing preparations ahead of time can help you avoid hazardous travel and supply shortages once the storm arrives.
How to prepare before the weekend:
Finish errands and grocery shopping by Friday to avoid traveling in dangerous conditions
Fuel vehicles and fully charge phones and other essential devices
Stock up on necessities such as food, water, medications, flashlights, and batteries
Make sure snow removal equipment like shovels or snow blowers is ready to use
Check heating systems and protect exposed pipes to prevent freezing
Taking these steps now will help ensure you and your household are ready for the winter weather ahead. Stay safe and plan accordingly.
