Be Prepared for Winter's Worst!

It is January. We are about to see another powerful storm cross the United States laying heavy, deep snow, sleet, ice and dense rain in its path. The storm over MLK's birthday weekend wreaked havoc across our nation and included tornadoes as well. Another big one is predicted within the next few days.

Yet we know that January means wintry weather. So does February. We can't pretend that we don't know winter is here. We must be prepared for its surprises. Most people know that. Most people have a shovel in their vehicle, extra blanket, flares, hand warmers, water and snacks - just in case.

We found this important reminder tip: Another thing you should have in that emergency kit? Thermal blankets, which can help you through even the coldest of cold weather, as advised by outdoor survival experts with Glacier Wellness. "The cheapest and easiest way to ensure you and your family will always be safe in the winter is to purchase a box of emergency thermal blankets," Maizlech says. "You can even keep a few in your car in case of a breakdown. They are extremely small and compact, and several can easily fit in any glove compartment."

You've got this! Another way that technological advancements in thermal coverings are helpful to us!
