PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in
your vehicle in case of an emergency. For the latest on road
conditions in Vermont, visit https://newengland511.org and for New
York, visit https://511ny.org.

Persons should consider delaying all travel. Motorists should use
extreme caution if travel is absolutely necessary.

Carbon monoxide is a real danger. Ensure adequate ventilation in
homes and do not use generators indoors. Try to conserve the heat
you do have. Close off unused rooms. Stuff towels or rags in cracks
under doors. Cover windows at night. Do not use charcoal inside to
heat homes, lighting candles, use ovens for heating, or sit in cars
running in a garage. If the power fails and you must use an
alternate means to stay warm, use appropriate fire safeguards.

Dress for both the temperature and the wind. Keep your head, hands,
and feet warm and dry. Wear loose fitting, lightweight warm clothing
in several layers. Outer garments should be hooded as well for water
and wind repellent. Snug mittens are better protection from the cold
than gloves.
