There have been so many rescues in the news, with some who did not make it 😔 PLEASE stay off the ice, keep your dogs/pets close to you on a leash and away from ice, and keep your kids of all ages close to you.

Talk to your kids, but keep in mind their brains aren't fully formed, specifically their frontal lobes so in the moment, their impulsivity may win over your talk 😔

Just stay away from ice on water, it isn't worth it 😔

PLEASE be careful!! Especially since this snow isn't fluffy snow.

Sledding can be fun, but winter conditions can change quickly. Snow may cover hardened ice, making surfaces slick and fast. To stay safe:

- Avoid sledding near roads, trees, fences, or bodies of water
- Wear helmets or protective gear when possible
- Supervise children closely

PLEASE be careful, if we get the snow they are saying we may be getting!

"The most common mechanism of injury/nature of medical emergency was acute musculoskeletal exertion (53.9%) followed by slips and falls (20.0%) and being struck by a snow shovel (15.0%). Cardiac-related ED visits accounted for 6.7% of the cases, including all of the 1647 deaths in the study."

Also ... conditions can change in the blink of an eye and before you know it, that milk you thought you needed has landed you in the ditch, or worse. If you are in the ditch, you may also be putting emergency crews in danger ... get your necessities now, then make the best of the situation at home.

It's going to be a mess, hunker down & make the best of it. Teach your kids how to make the best of a rubbish situation. They're watching you, they'll model your behavior.

❄🌬🌨️🚗🚙🛻STAY OFF THE ROADWAYS DURING THIS UPCOMING WINTER WEATHER EVENT🚚🚗🚐❄🌬🌨️

If you absolutely HAVE to be on the road (i.e., you're considered essential personnel such as public safety🚓🚑🚒, medical👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️🏥, emergency public works🪏🛣️🚍, etc...) make sure you have an emergency winter weather kit for your vehicle! It's impossible to predict how long you may be stuck in hazardous winter conditions if you end up stranded on the roadways.

Tailor your winter car emergency supply kit to you and your family’s needs. Here are some suggested items:

-Blankets
-Drinking water and snacks for everyone in the car, including pets
-Boots
-Basic first-aid kit
-Warm coat and insulating layers (sweatpants, gloves, hat, socks,)
-Rags, paper towels, or pre-moistened wipes
-Basic set of tools
-Car emergency warning devices such as road flares or reflectors
-Ice scraper/snow brush
-Jumper cables/jump pack
-Fire extinguisher
-Cash
-Items for children such as diapers, baby wipes, toys, etc.
-Flashlight, with extra batteries
-Hand warmers
-Paper map
-Portable smartphone power bank
-Extra medication
-Garbage bags
-Traction aid such as sand, salt or non-clumping, cat litter
-Tarp, raincoat, and gloves
-Shovel

Before you head out, make sure your vehicle gas tank is full. Make sure it's fully charged if it's an electric vehicle.

We like to have a laugh about it, but in reality ...

"Injuries to the lower back accounted for 34.3% of the cases [in the ER for shoveling injuries]"

Shoveling snow, especially if you're fairly sedentary, can be very dangerous & costly (ER, ambulance, etc!).

Find someone else to do your shoveling, don't risk it & don't let your husband risk it!

Don't forget to keep your taps on a slow drip of cold water, esp if your power goes out

Please stay safe & as warm as possible!

Great time to model to your kids how to...

❄️ handle difficult situations
❄️ manage changes in schedule
❄️ getting outside & playing in the snow
❄️ staying in the moment
❄️ read actual books, paint, crafts, coloring books, etc
❄️ build a blanket fort to help keep each other warm (or a up a tent in the living room)
❄️ remember, your kids are modeling your behavior, they're watching you, you can help them regulate by regulating yourself
❄️ have fun, enjoy it, make some memories for yourself & your kids!!

All jokes aside, shoveling snow can be quite dangerous...

"There are an estimated 11 500 snow shovel-related injuries and medical emergencies treated annually in US EDs."

If your husband is arguing with you & saying, "Yes, I can do it," he cannot do it & you should hire someone to come (it'll be cheaper than the ER bill!)

Plan ahead, better to plan & have no snow, than to not have a plan

All jokes aside, shoveling snow is linked to heart attacks, because it is a rigorous, repetitive activity, a workout

ESPECIALLY if you're sedentary or at risk of heart/back issues, etc-find someone else to do the work

If you're in good shape-offer to help someone

If you are injured or suspect a heart issue-call 911 & go to ER

We're here to help if we can 4349221900 (but not with shoveling!)
