The State of Vermont has a website that gives you advice on how to stay safe during hazardous weather events such as we'll probably experience this weekend. Check it out, and be prepared for power outages as well as treacherous driving conditions. Have extra water on hand for drinking and for flushing the toilet, and be sure you have enough canned food to last for at least a couple days in case you have no electricity.
Remember that walking can be dangerous, too, on several levels. Not only should you wear creepers and perhaps use ski poles if you must walk outside to get your mail or for any other reason, but also be aware that vehicles may not be able to stop as they normally would, or they could slide out of control and hit you. There also may be danger from falling limbs, trees or power lines weighted with ice, so please, do not take chances and be aware of your surroundings when outside. Use caution and be safe.
