Snow Notes

LifeBridge Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention remind you to follow the following winter weather tips to stay healthy during this inclement weather.

• When headed outside, remember to wear a hat, a scarf, sleeves that are snug at the wrist, mittens, water resistant coat and boots, and several layers of loose-fitting clothing.
• Before traveling, clean off your entire car, from the top to the headlights. Otherwise snow can fly onto a fellow driver's windshield and cause an accident.
  
• If you are traveling by car today, remember to pack extra warm clothing, a flashlight, blanket, cell phone and water.
• If you are working outside, dress warmly and work slowly. Persistent shivering is a sign to return indoors.
• Avoid getting gasoline or alcohol on your skin while de-icing and fueling your car or using a snow blower.
• To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, use generators and similar items outdoors only.
