Preparing for Winter Storms: What You Can Do and How Quad State Internet Is Taking Action
Posted January 4, 2025 by Preston Louis Ursini
What to Expect
The National Weather Service has issued warnings for our region, predicting freezing rain, sleet, and snow. Ice accumulation on roads, power lines, and trees could cause dangerous conditions, including power outages and downed infrastructure. Travel may become treacherous, and prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures could pose health risks.
How to Prepare at Home
- Stock Up on Essentials: Gather enough food, water, and medications to last at least three days. Keep batteries, flashlights, and backup chargers ready for power outages.
- Protect Your Home: Insulate and drip faucets to prevent frozen pipes. Bring in outdoor items that could be damaged or blown away. Have blankets, warm clothing, and a safe heating source available.
- Stay Informed and Connected: Monitor weather alerts and road conditions using reliable sources. Fully charge devices and ensure you have alternative ways to stay connected.
- Subscribe to WeatherTalk.com and JPsTraffic.com for local updates.
