The National Weather Service has designated Nov. 15 as Winter Weather Awareness Day in an effort to emphasize the importance of planning ahead.  

A webpage with safety tips and information about winter weather and its impact can be found at weather.gov/lsx/winterday. The page includes explanations of weather terms like “wind-chill index” as well as information on generator safety and avoiding health and safety risks that come with frigid temperatures, snow and ice.

The MO.gov website includes a winter weather safety page that has additional information including safe winter driving techniques, avoiding injury when shoveling and other tips. The page is available at mo.gov/winter-weather-safety. It also includes a video from the Missouri State Highway Patrol on driving in snow and ice.
