Hopefully, you never have to do that. Do not attempt to drive in adverse weather conditions winter storm. If there are warnings about travel in any area, please listen to the advice about not driving in extreme weather conditions. Just not worth it. People have limits on the days that can take off from work or school, but driving in hazardous weather conditions is not just a good idea. Even if you have a medical emergency, like a woman in labor or possible heart attack, call 911, if possible, instead of trying to achieve the same hospital.

Do not attempt any sports that are not physically fit enough to try. If you are a beginner in skiing, sledding, snowboarding or ice skating, start slowly and if so, pay attention to the advice of an instructor, or at least someone who has experience in sports. Wear appropriate clothing and cover exposed skin in extreme cold and wind conditions. Be aware of your surroundings and even in winter tourism areas, there are many ice and snow covered areas in the parking lots of hotels, shops and restaurants. Use caution when navigating these areas on foot. This is what keeps orthopedists busy all winter.
