❄️ Winter Storm Prep Tips for Parents ❄️
With a major snowstorm expected this weekend, a little preparation can help keep your family safe and comfortable:
🧺 Stock up early – Make sure you have essentials like diapers, wipes, formula, medications, batteries, and easy-to-make meals on hand.
🔦 Prepare for power outages – Charge devices, gather flashlights, and keep extra blankets accessible.
🥾 Get winter gear ready – Check that coats, boots, hats, gloves, and snow pants still fit and are easy to grab.
🚗 Prep the car – Fill the gas tank, pack an emergency kit, and bring car seats inside if temps drop extremely low.
🏠 Stay warm at home – Seal drafts, set thermostats appropriately, and keep extra layers available for kids.
🧩 Plan for indoor fun – Download movies, charge tablets, and set aside games, crafts, or books to keep kids entertained if plans change.
📱 Stay informed – Monitor weather updates and school or activity closures.
A little planning now means more peace of mind when the snow starts falling. Stay safe and warm! ☃️💙
