Winter Storm Precautions for Lakewood Residents?

1/3/2023 (Permalink)

We restore storm damage 24 hours a day in Jefferson County.

Our local Lakewood and Ken Caryl team has been restoring storm-damaged properties in Jefferson County for over forty years. Winter storms often blow in with little advanced notice. Here is some information from the American Red Cross for preparing for severe storms:

Take immediate precautions if you hear these words on the news:

Winter Storm WARNING: Life-threatening, severe weather conditions have begun or will begin within 24 hours.

Blizzard WARNING: Sustained winds or frequent gusts of 35 miles per hour or greater, plus considerable falling or blowing snow reducing visibility to less than a quarter mile, expected to prevail for three hours or longer.

Other winter storm words to listen for: 

• WIND CHILL Temperature: How cold people and animals feel when outside. As wind increases, heat is carried away from your body faster, driving down your body temperature and making you feel much colder. The wind chill temperature is not the actual temperature but rather how wind and cold feel on exposed skin.

• Winter Storm OUTLOOK: Winter storm conditions are possible in the next two to five days. Stay tuned to local media for updates.

• Winter Storm WATCH: Winter storm conditions are possible within the next 36 to 48 hours. Review your winter storm plans and stay informed about weather conditions.

• Winter Weather ADVISORY: Winter weather conditions are expected to cause significant inconveniences and may be hazardous but not life-threatening if you are cautious.
