Ice storms may occur as Old Man Winter gives his last gasps, be prepared for downed power lines and potential storms that bring sudden precipitation. Secondly, remember that flooding is very likely this spring, as the above average precipitation occurred over this passed winter. Its a great time to check on your emergency kit- blankets, batteries, flaghlights, a transistor radio, back up medications, and food that can last for a couple of weeks.
An ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure...
