Snowfall warnings are now in effect across much of #NovaScotia. Stay home if travel isn't necessary, but if it is, use caution, lower your speed and watch for other road users, pedestrians and cyclists. Please check @511ns for updates on road conditions. #WinterSafety #NSstorm

RT @GBMFD: Have you checked your vents today?

Snow & ice can block furnace vents, dryer vents, and fireplace vents which can cause carbon monoxide to build up in your home! Take a couple of minutes to remove snow from these areas around your home.

Slippery sidewalks and roads aren’t the only things to look out for. Shoveling snow can be a health risk as well. Remember to stay hydrated, take frequent breaks, and only move small amounts with each shovel pass. Learn more at https://weather.gov/winter #WinterSafety

Motorists, remember to keep a snowbrush or ice scraper in your vehicle and consider topping up your vehicle with extra windshield washer fluid. It’s also a good idea to consider keeping a shovel and/or a bag of salt or sand in your vehicle in case you get stuck. #WinterSafety

Don’t do that.

With Halifax’s first proper snowfall it’s time for the classic PSA. Please please brush of ALL snow/ice from your vehicle before driving. I’ve seen far too many vehicles today like this or ones that just cleared windows but not front top or back of their cars. #Wintersafety
