I joke about the winter storm names, but:

  • Drive safe. DO NOT drive if you do not have to
  • Stick to main roads and away from big hills. Especially if icy.
  • Don’t overexert yourself shoveling snow. (Heavy wet snow = Heart attack snow)
  • Be safe and build some extended family members of mine!
