Snowtober!

Losing power is never a fun thing, especially when it means you’re facing a long, dark cold winter, um well rather fall night! We know we have lots of residents without power and while our utility companies are working hard to restore power, many may go without over night! So what should you do?

- Gather up those flashlights and spare batteries before the sun goes down.
- Dress warm and gather extra blankets.
- Keep curtains and blinds open during the day, even on cloudy days the suns heat can reach you. Once the sun goes down close curtains and blinds to keep heat in!
- Follow all instructions and safety tips when operating generators and alternative sources of heat!
- DO NOT run generators indoors because of the carbon monoxide risk.
- Have everyone stay in one central room for the night, close off that room to conserve heat.
- If possible stay with someone else for the evening that has power!
- If you and your family are safe, check on neighbors that may need special help during such an event (sick, elderly, etc.).


The snow should be tapering off through the evening hours and temperatures will rebound back to the mid 40’s tomorrow! Remember to report those outages to your utility company and avoid traveling on roads!
