Thanks Michelle! Great points about making sure your car is working well and you’ve got lots of supplies!

Dress warmly and professional with sensible shoes /boots who knows if you may have to shovel out. Once at the visit lots of opportunities for the whole family to work on those goals and have fun.

Great suggestions, Millie! Speaking as someone who has wiped out in the snow more than once, I’m so glad you added these tips!

Walking to and from your car after so much snow requires special attention to avoid slipping and falling. Hopefully, you will remain safe in getting around. It is always wise to exercise caution when walking in these conditions. Slow down and take smaller steps, focus your attention on walking, wear rubber soles that have good traction.
