Winter Storms in the South

12/11/2019 (Permalink)

Winter storms in the south can be especially tricky, considering southerners are not used to snow, ice or sleet.   Here are a few things that we all can do to make it a little less scary and even fun if the snow word is mentioned.

1. Listen to your local meteorologist. (NOT Uncle Jim Bob’s cousin who predicts weather on Facebook)
2. Protect the P’s- people, pets, pipes and plants. Cover the pipes and bring the pets, plants and people in.
3. If you have children, snow can be a wonderful experience if your prepared. Have ingredients ready for chili or gumbo and make a big pot for lunch.
4. Have gloves, hats and boots (hunting clothes for most of the south) ready for the kids to go play.
5. If you don’t have to drive, please don’t.
6. Remember all the snow, ice or sleet will be melted in a few hours, usually.
