It sure is a marshmallow world outside! The snow keeps falling and that means that it will be time for skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, ice-skating and every other kind of winter sport there is. Of course, this blizzard is some hours away from being over so caution must be taken. According to a recent article by WWLP.com, there were about 89 accidents in Massachusetts between 7pm on Sunday and 7am on Monday and Massachusetts Governor Patrick has issued a state of emergency for the state.
A couple of things to keep in mind: the roads will be bad and the snow may cause problems for your home. If you must drive, then do so very carefully. If you don’t have to drive, then stay home! It’s much safer for you and for your family. For the safety of your home, check the roof occasionally. Make sure that there is no ice forming that may cause ice dams. Be sure that the roof is structurally sound. If the weight of the snow is great enough, it could cause a collapse.
