Preparing for the Week Ahead

With snow showers expected on multiple days and temperatures often below freezing, it’s important to take precautions:

• Dress in layers to stay warm, especially during early mornings and evenings when wind chill values are lowest.

• Keep sidewalks and driveways clear to prevent slips and falls after snow accumulates.

• Check road conditions before traveling, as snow and ice can make driving hazardous.

• Have emergency supplies ready in your vehicle, including blankets, food, and water, in case of delays.
