The Storms Are Coming to Kitsap Soon!

According to forecasters, it's going to be another blustery winter.  A repeat of La Nina is expected which means more snow, wind, and flooding than average.

The key to making it comfortably through these storms is to be prepared.  I just stocked up on water, non-perishable food, and easy light fire logs this weekend.  After last years ice storm nightmare, I want to be prepared for anything.

Here is a basic list of recommended supplies by the state campaign - Take Winter By Storm

• Battery powered/Hand-crank radio
• Flashlight with extra batteries
• Cell phone with car charger
• Thermal emergency blankets
• Carbon-monoxide detector
• Snow Shovel
• Outdoor faucet covers
• Camping stove and fuel
• Warm clothing and walking shoes for vehicles
• Small shovel and traction aids for vehicles.

I know everybody enjoys a snow day or two but that snow can change from beautiful to dangerous rather quickly in this area.  Being prepared will make these days safer and less stressful.
