Snow Days
Posted on | December 1, 2006 |
Severe snowstorms and cold weather are on the horizon, if they’re not affecting you already.
From the land of Frostbite Falls (Minnesota), I’ve compiled a few frozen tips to help you survive the winter ahead!
- Always have a warm sleeping bag in the back of your car - you’ll need it in case you get stranded! Throw in extra mittens and a hat, too. Other important items to add to your car for winter…
- Heating sources are a major cause for winter fires. Be sure to have your furnace checked out by a professional. And don’t leave your space heaters on while you sleep! They could easily fall over and start a fire.
- Don’t have much heat at home? Sleep with a hat on. You lose most of your body heat via the top of your head.
- Wear mittens instead of gloves. Your fingers will warm each other if they stay together.
- Worried about frostbite and hypothermia? Be sure to head inside often to stay warm, keep covered and stay dry.

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about carbon monoxide poisoning. One of the stories on the radio mentioned getting carbon monoxide detectors and plugging one in near your furnace and another near the main living area. Be sure you can hear them, and if they do go off, have it checked out!
