Winter Weather Tips Extreme cold paired with brisk winds can result in dangerously cold wind chill values and ultimately lead to frostbite and hypothermia. Stock up on non-perishable food. Keep a supply of bottled water available also. Make plans to stay off the roads. If you must drive, make sure you have an emergency supply kit in your car. Prepare for power outages. Have flashlights with batteries on hand, and keep your cell phone and other electronic devices charged. Have blankets to help you stay warm. Dress for the weather: Wear several layers of loose-fitting, lightweight, and warm clothing rather than one layer of heavy clothing. Wear mittens, which are warmer than gloves. Wear a hat. Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs. |
