With the dumping of 30+ inches of snow in some areas
from "STELLA" here are some important safety tips:
·
Shoveling: take breaks and make sure to dress
warm to avoid frostbite – know your limits!
·
Snow blowers: do NOT try to clear obstructions
from a running machine
·
Snowy roof tops: use a long pole snow
removal device instead of climbing up a ladder
·
Preventing slips: wear proper footwear, and take
smaller penguin style steps
·
Winter driving: slow down, and keep a good
distance between you and the other cars, be aware!
·
Emergency kit: it’s a good time to check what’s
in your kit, or create one
