PLEASE BE CAREFUL
With winter weather being predicted for the next few days, please use extreme caution when driving to and from your homes. Please avoid travel if it is not absolutely necessary. Also be careful when walking on icy surfaces and check on your elders to make sure they have the food, water, heat and medication they need. Check on your pets as well to ensure their needs are being met during the winter weather.
