Let’s start off with what a winter storm is. According to weather.gov a winter storm his term may refer to a combination of winter precipitation, including snow, sleet, freezing rain, etc. In this case, Storm Uri has smashed snow records in Texas and will continue to spread snow and potentially damaging ice from the South into parts of the Midwest and Northeast through Tuesday. What does that mean for us?

It means our temperatures have been lowering and some have even experienced snow! To stay safe we’ve provided some tips!

1. Have a generator or backup power source in the event of a power outage! Many times snow and freezing ice make power lines go down so be prepared!
2. Drip water faucets
3. Keep your pipes warm by opening cabinets and keeping all rooms in our harm warm
4. Store nonperishables, batteries for a radio, and blankets in the event of a power outage.
