  Winter Weather Preparedness   

Severe winter storms can cause widespread damage and disruption. Heavy snow often results in paralyzed transportation systems, automobile accidents due to slippery roads and stranded vehicles. When accompanied by intense winds and extreme cold, snow can isolate entire towns. These conditions are a dangerous threat to life. Glazing from ice storms topples utility lines and poles and makes travel virtually impossible. Even walking may be a dangerous venture.
