We Are About To Get Hit Again. Are You Ready For The Snow?

Well here it comes again New York.  They are predicting a Heavy Snowlot of snow for tomorrow afternoon and night.  The snow is going to be wet snow which is soggy and heavy.  We know what soggy heavy snow can do don't we?

 

 

Be careful when shoveling

This type of snow will be hard to move and shoveling will take a lot out of you.  Be sure to use common sense and find someone to help you if it is too much for you.


Expect that we may have power outages throughout the area so get prepared.  


Find your flashlights, I know that the kids have been playing with them so you may need to dig in the toy box and replace those batteries.  

Gather some candles and matches.  Remember never leave a candle burning unattended or in a room alone with a small child.

Fill some jugs or pails with water especially if your house gets water from a well.  The well can't pump up water without electricity.  If you have water at least you can flush the toilets, give pets water, and wash up.    

Watch the snow build up on roofs especially flat roofs.

This is the type of snow that can cause a cave in so keep an eye on your roof and call someone to clear it if it gets too deep.

Don't drive if you don't have to.

If it is not necessary to go out then don't.  If you think about it most things can wait until the roads are cleared.


I leave you with this thought:

Snowflakes are kisses from heaven. ~Author Unknown
If this is true then heaven should know I have been kissed enough
this year already thank you very much.


Stay Warm and Stay Safe.
