winter weather tips In Oklahoma, we’re pretty good at handling bad weather. Here at Oklahoma’s Own News On 6, we want to offer a few extra suggestions to ensure everyone is safe and warm. Chief Meteorologist Travis Meyer brings you some winter weather safety tips: • Keep a good supply of rock salt and sand (kitty litter can be substituted for sand) to help with keeping your walkways safe.

• Add a snow shovel to your disaster supply kit at home for when the snow is heavy.

• Store a good supply of wood for your fireplace or wood-burning stove in case gas or electricity is lost.

• Be sure to winterize your home by cleaning the gutters, trimming away trees, and fixing roof leaks.

• Remember to keep faucets dripping during periods of cold weather to keep pipes from freezing.

• In case a pipe does burst, have someone teach you how to turn off the water valves.

• Have a mechanic do a winter weather safety check for your car to keep you protected.

• Keep your fuel levels as full as possible, at least half a tank, in case it is hard to reach a gas station.

• Place an emergency kit in your car.

• Dress in warm layers with the outer layer being water repellent and carry gloves and a hat with you.

• Cover your mouth with a scarf to protect your lungs when you are outside.

• Please check on neighbors, friends, family and the elderly so we can keep all Oklahomans safe this winter.

For a complete list of winter weather tips, kits, and more please go to NewsOn6.com/winterweather.

During winter storms and extreme cold, stay with News on 6’s Travis Meyer and The Warn Team for the latest information.
