You might be surprised to learn that a blizzard warning doesn’t necessarily require falling snow. In fact, blizzard conditions can occur even when there’s already snow on the ground. This means that strong winds can pick up existing snow, reducing visibility and creating hazardous travel conditions, even if it’s not currently snowing. #INwx #WinterPrep

Frostbite and hypothermia are two serious medical emergencies that can occur during extreme cold weather. Frostbite affects the extremities, such as hands, feet, and ears, while hypothermia occurs when the body’s temperature drops below 95˚. It’s essential to know how to recognize and respond to these conditions, as well as take preventative measures to minimize the risk of occurrence. To help prevent frostbite and hypothermia, make sure to bundle up warmly and limit your time outdoors. If you suspect you or someone else may be experiencing either condition, it’s crucial to seek medical attention immediately. Stay safe and prepared this winter by taking the necessary precautions and being aware of the risks associated with cold weather. #INwx #WinterPrep

️ Winter Weather Reminder ️

As cooler temperatures move in tonight and tomorrow, our area may see snow or wintry precipitation. To stay safe, remember these essential tips:

Travel Safely
When on the roads, slow down and allow extra stopping distance on wet or icy surfaces. Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, including a blanket, flashlight, snacks, water, and a phone charger. Before heading out, check the latest road conditions to plan your route.

Home Heating Safety
If you’re using space heaters, keep them at least 3 feet away from anything flammable. Never leave heaters unattended or running overnight, and ensure proper ventilation if you’re using a fireplace or wood stove. Don’t forget to check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

Protect People, Pets, and Pipes
Bring your pets indoors or provide a warm, safe shelter for them. To prevent frozen pipes, let your faucets drip slightly. Check on your elderly neighbors or anyone who may need assistance during this time.

Stay informed with the latest weather updates and road advisories. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and share updates as necessary.
