What to do during a blizzard
IN A CAR
Keep yourself moving. A car offers little room for you to keep your blood flowing. Clap your hands, stomp your feet, and move around as much as possible at least once an hour. Keep yourself from stressing out and it will allow you to make smarter decisions when necessitated.
If you are caught driving in a blizzard find the closest motel or hotel to stay by until the storm has calmed down or has ended.
Make sure the car is visible for rescue is you are trapped. Hang up bright colors on windows so you can be seen from a distance.
Always keep a cellphone on you.
AT HOME
Do not go out during a blizzard due to the low visibility and the slippery roads especially if your road hasn't been plowed.
If your power isn't out check the weather forecasts and listen to the radio.
Keep your pets indoors.
Make sure you have heating sources available such as wood burning or gas fireplaces. Kerosene heaters and generators are also great heating alternatives.
Dress warmly.
Eat regularly because it provides your body with energy for producing it's own heat.
