Shoveling Safety Reminder

As you venture out to start or finish the clean up, make your safety the priority

Snow removal is hard work and can put serious strain on your body. Each year, we see injuries and cardiac events during cleanup.

@CTDESPP @CTDEMHS

[CT Fire Academy @CTCFPC]

Power Outages occurring
Report all to your power company & do not approach any wires

Safety comes first. Take precautions and protect yourself and your neighbors.

[Potentially Historic/Destructive Storm southeast of the BOS-PVD corridor] We are very concerned for areas southeast of the Boston-Providence corridor where wet snow combines with northeast wind gusts of 60-70 mph. Power outages & tree damage. Worst conditions Mon 4 am to noon.

[NWS Boston @NWSBoston]

[3/3] Strong-damaging winds accompany the storm. Strongest winds further east (gusts up to 60 mph, potentially up to 70 mph) early Mon morning-Mon evening. ⚠️This combined with heavy wet snow will increase risk for tree damage and power outages, especially east MA/RI🌲.

[NWS Boston @NWSBoston]

[2/3] ❄️Steadier snow arrives Sun evening through late Sunday night. Heavier snow rates (1-2"/hr) arrive after 2 AM Mon continuing through Mon afternoon. Snow decreases later Monday afternoon, exiting Monday night. ⚠️Hazardous travel conditions likely.

[NWS Boston @NWSBoston]

[1/3]❄️High-impact winter storm expected to hit southern New England Sun evening-Mon night bringing strong winds and heavy snow. Blizzard conditions likely in east MA & RI. Hazardous travel expected. Increased risk for tree damage/power outages in east MA/RI. #MAwx #RIwx #CTwx

Connecticut officials warn of increased house fire risk during extreme cold. The cold is dangerous in several ways, and the increased fire risk is among them.
