Why are warnings issued?

That makes sense! I do the same. I evaluate the situation and come up with a plan to deal with it. I will always make sure that I have enough food in case the weather becomes too difficult to get out for a few days.

Yes, weathermen are not always right. However, we've already had snow, cold and ice. I was told to always prepare for the worse in case it comes and if it doesn't come, I'm happy.

@LadyDuck It pays to be prepared!

@1hopefulman I do the same, there are things that I keep in the pantry just in case we should get a lot of snow. If it does not snow I am happy.

@1hopefulman Good to have the opportunity to excercise indoors.. Here we, who are elderly, get free soles, so we don’t need to risk being hurt from icy roads.. Maybe they sell that kind of soles in sport stores in your place too??

@buenavida Do you have a picture of these soles?

I think we have about the same weather toady. I dressed warmly and went grocery shopping. I wasn't able to walk too much as the sidewalks were slippery. I took the bus and enjoyed the ride. I will do my exercises indoor today.

I hope the weather is pleasant. Have you prepared in case the weather is difficult?

@RasmaSandra Let's hope and pray for a mild winter where you are.

@1hopefulman I am all alone and no one to help me. If heavy snow hits my garage roof can collapse my late husband used to climb up there to get the snow off and I cannot shovel the whole garden territory so the only thing I can do is shovel a small path from the door to the garden gate. What can I cay and no there are not neighbors who will come to shovel because they have their own shoveling to do so I just have to hope that it will be like last year with hardly any snow.

Yes! I listen to the weather at least twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. I listen to the news on the radio each morning. It''s only 5 minutes but it tells me a lot. It pays to know what is going on and what might be happening or coming up.

@JudyEv It makes sense!

@1hopefulman Forewarned is forearmed as they say.

Right on! It is snowing right now and it is very cold and I have to go out and so I better dress warm. Have you come across any warnings lately?

That's true! I think it has something to do with El Nino and that usually causes the winter to be more snowy and stormy. Anyways, we will see!

Yes, we can't change the weather but we can be prepared to deal with it by taking some precautions.

@amadeo One thing we can do is make sure we have good winter clothing. Today, it was below zero C and I tested out my winter clothing by going shopping and walking a bit and it went well. Bring it on winter!

@1hopefulman Oh!yes you are right on this.

Me too, especially if there is some danger that needs to be avoided!

@1hopefulman Definitely!!!

Yes, it is wise to listen to warnings and do what we can to deal with them.

So they warn you because they care for you.

@1hopefulman Yes Felix I would say so.

I like to keep on top of things myself.

@1hopefulman I should be the same. (but I didn't !)
