Here are some essential reminders during cold weather.

Knowing the weather conditions and forecast would be helpful for motorists and homeowners to prepare. Frigid temperatures could be problematic for many motorists.
Heating and staying warm are important. Wearing your winter clothes would help alleviate the cold weather.
Check the temperatures of very vulnerable family members.
Bring your pets at home. They are also vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
If you plan to travel outside, it is best that your car must have a winter emergency kit, which includes emergency flashlights, a radio, a power bank and a snow shover.
Homeowners should observe the status of their pipe system. During frigid conditions, frozen pipes are the most common.
