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.
