Midwest getting the snow for Christmas a few weeks early.

Snow is on the weather channels all over the midwest, weather men predicting accumulations of 6 to 14 inches in areas covering 4 states. December blizzard is here to drop snow on all the hot ski resorts and cover the drives and cars in its path. Seems as if old man winter is setting people up for the white Christmas early this year. With the arctic snow crippling the nation , it means more school closings, more business closings. People stuck at home, maybe some without heat or power.
With Christmas just a few weeks out, snow gets people in the Christmas spirit. Snow blowers will be working overtime, snow plows will be clearing roads and some of us will be braving the weather to buy presents and other household items for the big day.
Should you be one of those who brave the weather, just take care and drive safely. Make sure you take your time when traveling and have extra safety equipment in your car. Maybe carry a extra snow shovel in the trunk and some de-icer for the windshield, take extra clothes or jacket in case you get stuck out in the storm and have to walk. Snow can be fun and also hazardous, just use your head and stay alert. Blizzards are not anything to mess with, if you dont have to go out in it or go anywhere I say stay home. When these storms cause a complete whiteout at night on the highways this is when trouble starts, blowing winds build drifts across the roads and visibility drops down to less then a block and snow covers the roads up. If you do have to go out , try and do things during the day and not at night as the temperatures are a little higher during the day. Wear all the clothing protection you can so you wont get frostbite if you have to walk. Blizzards and snow storms are nothing to mess with, be safe and have a great Christmas Holiday.
