Winter can bring dangerously low temperatures and treacherous elements like snow, freezing rain, and ice. Together these seasonal changes can increase the risk of accident, injury, or even death if you are not prepared for the possibility of harsh winter conditions. Increased automobile accidents, chances of being stranded by hazardous conditions in your car or at home, cold conditions such as hypothermia and frostbite, and more frequent accidents & injuries during activities like snow removal are all common wintertime hazard scenarios that may not be able to be avoided. Still, It never hurts to prepare ahead of time for wintery weather.
