Early-season snow can catch us off guard! Slushy, slippery roads make travel hazardous, & heavy snow on leaf-filled trees can cause power outages. Stay weather-aware, check your local NWS forecast & allow extra time to travel safely. ❄️⚠️🚙

An infographic titled "Early Season Cold and Snow: Unique Hazards" detailing specific dangers that can occur at the beginning of winter.

The graphic lists five hazards, each preceded by a snowflake icon:
Falling tree limbs from excess weight of snow
Unexpected conditions during outdoor activities
Unstable ice on rivers and lakes
Inexperienced winter drivers
Obscured trails and dangers
A text box provides a general safety tip: Be Ready for Winter Conditions Check weather before heading outdoors, be ready for winter conditions sooner than you think, adjust your plans if needed, and slow down on roads.

The visual background shows a snowy landscape with a winding road where a red car is driving, a frozen body of water near a small hill where people are outdoors (one walking a dog, one skiing), and two cars (one green, one white) parked and covered in snow.

Layering is key for cold weather! Start with a moisture-wicking base, add an insulating middle and finish with a waterproof, wind-resistant outer shell. Don't to protect your extremities. Stay warm, comfortable, and safe outdoors! 🧤🧥❄️
