Snowy weather can be a time for fun,especially for avid skiers or children whorelish spending days off from school toss-ing snowballs and building snow forts.

many adults, however, do not look forwardto the snow as much as youngsters do.snow can be hazardous when driving, butputting snow tires on a vehicle can improvevehicle safety.

According to information from the Na-tional Highway Traffic Safety Administra-tion, roughly 115 people die every day invehicle crashes in the United States. Eachwinter, snowfall compounds treacherousroad conditions, increasing the risk of acci-dents.

It is important to know how to drive

when weather conditions are dangerous. Itis also wise to outfit a vehicle to reduce itsrisk of slipping and sliding on icy, snowyroads. Here are some tips to follow.

• Limit time spent driving in the snow.Avoid driving during snowstorms or di-rectly after whenever possible. Snow notonly makes roads slick, but fallingflakes can impair a driver’s visibility andreduce his or her response time. Try towait until snow-clearing teams havesalted, plowed and sanded roads beforeventuring out.

• Be sure you can see clearly. Clear off the snow from the windshield, side mir-rors and windows so it does not compro-

mise your view. Also, top off the wind-shield fluid so you will be able to clearsnow and salt kick-up from your wind-shield. Look for a washer fluid that hasan antifreeze component, otherwise,your washer jets and wiper blades couldbe rendered useless.

• Drive slowly. Reduce your speed whendriving in inclement weather. It can bemore difficult to stop or maneuveraround a potential obstacle when condi-tions are less than ideal. Traveling at ahigh speed will increase the risk of acci-dents.

• Leave enough room between you andother motorists. Tailgating is responsi-ble for many accidents, even when thereis no snow on the ground. In inclementweather, it can take longer to slow orstop the car after pressing on the brakes.Having an additional space betweenyour car and the one in front of youhelps you avoid a collision.

• Be aware of black ice. Black ice gets itsname from its veritable invisibility. It is

so thin and hard to spot, it just looks likethe black asphalt of the road. Black icetends to form in areas that have hadsnow or ice melt, which then refreezesat night when temperatures drop. Beextra cautious on turns and on highwayexit and entrance ramps, where black icefrequently forms.

• Steer your car into the skid. Remaincalm and do not panic and jam on thebrakes if your car starts to skid. Slam-ming on the brakes will only exacerbate

the skid. Rather, take your foot off theaccelerator, allowing the car to naturallyslow down as you turn your wheels intothe direction the car is skidding. Thisshould help right the car and get youback on track.

• Invest in snow tires. Those who live inespecially snowy climates and do a lotof driving would be wise to purchasesnow tires. Snow tires, also called wintertires, have special tread patterns thatoffer better traction in snow and ice.They also are made from softer rubbercompounds than regular tires that retaintheir flexibility in cold weather, allowingthe tire to conform to the surface of theroad. Although many vehicles comewith technology to prevent accidents,they cannot do their jobs if tires are notmaintaining their grip on the road.

All-season tires are not a replacementfor snow tires. All-season tires are designedto work in all sorts of conditions, fromrainy weather to dry roads. Therefore, it isbetter to invest in a set of snow tires that

will offer you better protection. When put-ting snow tires on a car or truck, be sure todo so on all the wheels — not just the driv-ing wheels. Otherwise you may still risk spin outs or uneven gripping of the road.

It is not a good idea to keep snow tireson all year. Because they are softer, snowtires tend to be more noisy and can wearout faster in warmer weather. Therefore,switch out the tires at the beginning of thesnowy season and then before the spring ar-rives anew.

The only thing scarier during the holi-days than the tally on a credit card billcome January is the idea of a child gettinglost or abducted while out shopping. Safetytips can keep children by your side or help

caregivers find kids fast should they wanderoff.These are a busy few months at the mall,

with many people packed into stores insearch of the perfect gifts. Confusion andthe sheer volume of shoppers can increasethe chance that a child will get lost.

A lost child can create panic parents andcaregivers. However, keeping a level headis more beneficial than running off to findthe child. Although preventing a child fromwandering off is the best method of protec-tion, being prepared for what to do should

the child go missing is equally important.• Talk about what to do. Sit children

who are old enough down to help themunderstand and set up a plan of action if they become separated from you. In fa-miliar stores, you can establish a meet-ing spot to go to, such as near the cashregister. Instruct children to seek a secu-rity guard or store employee and ask forhelp.

• Dress boldly. Part of the problem whenholiday shopping is being swarmed bydifferent people all dressed similarly.Designate brightly colored clothes that

both you and your children can wear tobe more visible. Most small childrenonly have the vantage point of seeingfrom the waist down. Consider wearingflashy shoes or a bandana tied to belt

loops to help you stand out. Childrencan wear a bright shirt or hat so you cansee them at all times.

• Dress-up strollers, too. Many strollersare identical in appearance. Set yoursapart by tying a ribbon or balloon to it.This way you will be able to notice if someone is wandering off with yourstroller — and your child!

• Carry a recent photo. Take a picture of your children with your mobile phonebefore leaving the house so that you willknow exactly what he or she was wear-

ing and will have the most recent photoavailable for identification. In additionto taking a head shot, take a photo of thechild’s shoes, too. In events of child ab-duction, kidnappers may have a changeof clothes ready for children, but rarelywill they be able to change kids’shoesbecause of sizing issues. Those shoescan prove an invaluable method of iden-tification.

• Give children identification. You cancreate a personal ID card with basic in-formation to help reunite you with yourchild. This may include only the child’s

first name and an “I’m Lost” messagewith a phone number to “Call Mom.”Because even an ID card can go miss-ing, some inventive parents are usingmethods like temporary tattoo IDs like

those from SafetyTat(R).• Hold hands and stay connected. Keep

your children within reach and do not letthem stay in one aisle while you shop inanother. Holding hands keeps childrenwithin reach. Although many parentsfrown on the use of a child leash, if itmeans the difference between a childrunning off or staying put, it might be a

good idea.

• Reinforce positive behavior. Should achild wander off and follow safety tips,reward that behavior with praise whenyou are reunited. Wait until another time

to talk about why he or she got lost andhow to make sure it doesn’t happenagain.

Children tend to wander off out of cu-riosity or by following the wrong person.During the busy holiday season this canhappen more frequently. By heeding tips,children can be kept safe whenever thefamily is in a crowd.

Celebrants and shoppers annually spendbillions of dollars during the holiday sea-son. With so much money exchanginghands, it is imperative for shoppers and rev-elers to use caution to avoid incidents that

can put a damper on such a festive time of year.

Though many people who look forwardto the holiday season for all the right rea-sons, there are some who see this time of year as a prime opportunity to prey on thegenerosity or distraction Christmas brings.Thieves know that the holidays can be hec-tic, and they use this to their advantage,knowing full well people tend to store high-priced items in their homes during this timeof the year. Heeding certain safety tips dur-ing the holidays can help keep you and

your loved ones safe.

Stagger shopping timesBeing a creature of habit may not be ad-

vantageous come the holidays. Oftentimes,potential burglars monitor neighborhoodsto see when residents come and go. It cantake mere minutes for a thief to get into ahome and then abscond with valuables.

Creating a situation where there is al-ways someone home or at least the appear-ance that someone is home might dissuadea thief from targeting your home. When

you venture out to shop, do so at different

times so you’re not establishing a recogniz-able pattern that gives a thief a sense of se-curity and a perfect window of time tobreak in.

Triple-check your homeSecurity experts warn that most burgla-

ries occur during daytime hours whenhomes are empty. The main point of entryis on the ground floor via a rear or a sidedoor. Access through a garage door is an-other common way thieves gain access to ahome.

Before leaving the house, make sure thatall doors and windows are locked and thatthe garage door cannot be opened. Manytimes thieves are able to simply enter ahome through an unlocked window. The

key is to make it as difficult as possible fora burglar to get inside your home.

Running out of the home for parties,shopping and other social events could de-rail safety precautions. If need be, leave achecklist by the front door to remind you tosafeguard the home before exiting.

Park in well-lit areasCars are prime targets for burglaries.

Many times shoppers visit the car fre-quently during shopping excursions andstore gifts in the trunk, only to return for

more shopping. Thieves recognize there

may be a bounty of merchandise inside.First and foremost, all items in the car

should be stored out of sight to deter inter-est in your vehicle. Secondly, make surethat the car is locked and that the security

system (if there is one) is engaged, as mer-chandise in a car is not often covered bystandard auto insurance policies. In addi-tion, park as close as you can to the storeentrance or beneath a bright light. Poor vis-ibility encourages thieves.

Watch your walletCash is a very attractive prospect for

thieves because it is largely untraceable andeasily spent. While shoppers who want tocurb high credit card bills might favor cash,it is important not to carry too much

around. Spread out purchases over a fewdays so that you do not have to carry largequantities of cash.

When using an ATM at the mall or at thebank, always be aware of your surround-

ings, including fellow customers. It may beworth paying multiple service fees to with-draw small amounts of cash rather thanwithdrawing a large amount of money thatthieves can target.

Remove extraneous credit cards whenshopping. Should your wallet be stolen orgo missing, this will eliminate the numberof accounts that thieves can use and alsocuts down on the number of accounts thatneed to be closed out. You should nevercarry your social security card in your wal-let because this increases your risk of beingvictimized by identity theft.

Request to sign for packagesMany shipping carriers have eliminated

the need for package recipients to sign for

merchandise. Recipients can now choose tohave boxes and bags left outside the frontdoor. To decrease the risk of theft, alwayschoose to sign for packages, regardless of how safe your neighborhood may be.

Safety should be a holiday tradition, too

Winter is right around the corner. Thatmeans that most people will be trading inwindbreakers and rakes for heavy coats and

snow shovels. Winter can be a beautifultime of the year, but the snow and ice thatcovers the landscape in a pristine sheet of white can present certain hazards as well.

Walking on ice can be extremely dan-gerous, particularly to those people who al-ready may have mobility issues, such as theelderly. According to the National SafetyCouncil, slips and falls are the singlelargest cause of emergency room visits.Slip and fall injuries also are the thirdlargest cause of workplace injuries, says theBureau of Labor Statistics.

Many accidental falls occur from lack of stability or poor physical health. However,come winter, many falls can be attributed towalking on slippery surfaces covered withsnow or ice. To avoid falls on ice, men andwomen might want to take certain precau-tions.

Change the way you walkAdapting to the slippery conditions

could help prevent some of the falls causedby snow and ice. When walking on ice,plant feet with toes facing outward slightly,

and then shuffle along. Hunching over a lit-tle and extending arms outward will help tolower your center of gravity and also offera little more stability. Take short, flat stepsso that the heels and toes of your shoes stayin contact with the ground as much as pos-sible and offer maximum surface contact.

You should not take large strides ormove quickly. This can definitely lead toslips and falls. Rather, leave extra time toget to and fro, especially when walking tomass transit or to and from your car whencommuting.

Switch ShoesFlat shoes with rubber soles are more

capable of gripping the ice than other typesof shoes. Contrary to popular belief, clunkywinter boots may make walking more diffi-cult. Try rain boots instead, as rain bootstypically have flatter soles. There also aremany different types of shoe ice grips onthe market that can be added to the soles of shoes. They easily slip on to offer moretraction. Whenever possible, try to avoidshoes with already slippery soles or highheels. Carry these shoes with you andchange after you are inside.

Treat walkwaysKeeping on top of falling snow can help

alleviate slippery walkways. Use a combi-nation of snowmelt and sand so that youcan keep sidewalks clear.

Remove shoes indoorsSlips and falls can happen inside a home

as well. Many people have tile or laminateentryways in their homes, and these en-trances can become quite slippery when

While summer might be the season most associated

with vacation, winter also is a great time of year to leave

everything behind. Winter break at the kids’ school and

time off from the office around the holiday season makewinter a great time to get away.

But planning a winter vacation is different than planning

one for the summer. The following are a few pointers to en-

sure your winter escape goes off without a hitch.

• Double check school schedules before booking a trip.

Families should check with their local school district to

confirm when the school or schools are having their

winter break. Such information might be available on

the district’s or school’s Web site before the school year

even begins, allowing parents to plan their trip months

in advance. College students often have longer winter

breaks, so they should be free to travel. But confirm thedates of their winter break as well. No parent wants to

book a trip only to discover that vacation is forcing a

child to miss school and possibly fall behind in the

classroom.

• Pack accordingly. When traveling in the summer, it’s

often unnecessary to pack items like sweaters or over-

coats. However, traveling in the winter, even if your des-

tination is a warm beach, mandates such items for

anyone living in a locale where winter weather dips

below freezing. You won’t want to return home in flip

flops and tank tops if the temperature outside is frigid.

When packing, it’s also good to note that items like

sweaters and coats take up more space than T-shirts and

bathing suits. Consider this when packing and factor in

how larger suitcases may affect your traveling budget if

you’re traveling by air and your chosen airline charges forexcess baggage.

• Expect delays. The weather is not often a consideration

when traveling in the summer, when the skies are gener-

ally clear and the roads are not delayed by things like

snowstorms or poor road conditions. However, winter

traveling might be affected by inclement weather. Con-

sider the weather when traveling to and from the airport,

checking the forecast the night before your trip to deter-

mine when you should leave for the airport. Such delays

also can influence security lines at the airport, which

may have more people to accommodate if flights have

been cancelled or postponed.• Keep weather in mind when reserving a rental car.

Travelers, and families in particular, typically rent a ve-

hicle while on vacation. When vacationing in the winter

at a ski resort or another area with winter weather, rent a

sport utility vehicle or a car with all-wheel or four-

wheel drive. Such rentals may be more expensive than

renting economy cars or mid-sized sedans, but they’re

also more capable of handling winter roads and winter

weather.

Planning a w inter vacation is different than planning a getaway in the summer.

Family gatherings are synonymous with

the holiday season. Even those familieswho have spread out far and wide oftenmanage to come together at least once atthe end of the year.

When families include members whodon’t live within driving distance of one an-other, those who aren’t hosting the holidayfestivities must plan an overnight stay.Lodging costs can be considerable duringthe holiday season because hotels canquickly fill to capacity. Holiday hosts whowant to go the extra mile can invite gueststo forgo hotels and stay overnight at their

homes, where guests can spend more timewith hosts and won’t have to worry aboutfinding lodging they can afford.

Though it’s a nice gesture to hostovernight guests during the holiday season,it’s also one that requires a little work on

the part of the hosts, who must take time

ouf of the often hectic holiday schedule toprepare their homes for guests. The follow-ing are a few pointers for hosts who want toensure everything is ready and accommo-dating for overnight guests.

• Take inventory of household linens.Depending on how many guests you’llbe hosting, you may need to stock up onextra linens. If only one or two peoplewill be staying overnight, you should beable to make due with what you have.However, if you’ll be hosting a secondfamily for the holidays, whether it’s one

night or a full week, then you will likelyneed to buy more linens, including bed-ding, pillows and blankets. Take inven-tory of what you have and make sureyou have adequate bedding for eachguest, as well as some extra bedding in

case of emergency.

• Discuss pet allergies. Holiday hostswho have pets should discuss pet aller-gies with potential overnight guests wellin advance of the season. If guests areallergic to your pets, then it might not becomfortable for them to stay overnightat your home. While most familieswould not want to shelter their pets on aholiday, doing so is an option but onethat may not even be worth it. Pet hairand dander around the house might beenough to trigger an allergic attack evenwhen the pet isn’t in or around the

home, so sheltering the pet may not be asolution after all. Discuss this issue withprospective guests well in advance of the season so they have time to find af-fordable lodging in the event that any of them do have a pet allergy.

• Stock up on toiletries. Toiletries arebound to run out if you’re hosting guestsfor the holidays. Before guests arrive,stock up on these items, including toilet

and facial tissue, hand soap, bath soap,shampoo and conditioner, toothpasteand extra toothbrushes in case guestsforgot to pack their own. These itemshave no expiration date, so even if youend up buying more than you need youcan always use them down the roadwhen guests have long since returnedhome.

• Clear the house of clutter. Clutter canmake a home seem even more crowdedwhen guests are staying overnight. Clut-ter can accumulate anywhere in the

house, from bathrooms to a living roomto the kitchen. When hosting guests forthe holidays, you will need all the spaceyou can get, so clear the house of asmuch clutter as possible. Put all toysaway and clear the common areas of items like shoes and clothing that canmake a space seem more cramped. Inaddition, clear the dining room table of any items that aren’t needed at mealtimeand choose festive centerpieces thatdon’t take up much space.

• Don’t be caught off guard by a storm.If guests will be staying multiple nights,

it’s safe to assume everyone, hosts andguests included, will want to get out of the house, be it to enjoy local holidaycelebrations or simply to avoid cabinfever by getting some fresh air. But theholiday season gets its fair share of in-clement weather, including snowstorms.Hosts should not be caught off guard bya snowstorm, stocking up on items like asnow shovel, a snow blower and salt or ade-icing product for walkways anddriveways before guests arrive. This willensure everyone won’t feel trapped in-

side the house should a storm arrive un-expectedly.

Hosting guests for the holidays is nosmall task. But hosts who prepare in ad-vance can ensure everyone makes the mostof their time together.

Preparation pointers

How to get your home ready for holiday guests

snow-packed shoes warm up and the snowmelts, creating a wet, slick surface. Avoidfalls by placing mats by the front door and

removing shoes when you enter. Stash apair of slippers nearby into which you canchange.

Pack lightCarrying heavy bags can disrupt your

center of gravity and contribute to falls.Whenever possible, travel light or use abackpack to evenly distribute weight tohelp you walk more easily.

Falls on slippery surfaces can be quitedangerous. Avoid trips to the emergency

room for broken bones or abrasions byslowing down, dressing appropriately andwalking on paths that have been cleared of snow and ice.

Lighting a Christmas tree may seem likechild’s play, but time and again peoplestruggle with the task. Untangling wiresand wrapping them around boughs can benerve wracking, but lighting a tree doesn’thave to be a chore when you follow sometips from the professionals. First, keep inmind that wrapping lights around the treehorizontally is more work and often doesn’tproduce a multi-dimensional effect. Rather,string the lights from the trunk up to thetop, working vertically. This is actuallyhow the tree decorators at Rockefeller Cen-ter in New York City do the famous tree

year after year. This method helps eliminatetangled wires and empty spots. Rememberto plug in the strands of lights before youbegin to check for burnt-out bulbs and toadjust the spacing of lights to prevent dark spots. Think about varying light bulb sizesto add more dimension. String an innerlayer of small LED white lights to producean inner glow on the tree before addinglarger, colored lights on top to increase vi-sual appeal. Just be sure to match the samewattage of the lights so that you do nothave power surges and can prolong the lifeof the bulbs.

Tree lighting tipsPREVENT from page 4




Holiday lighting displays are a beloved

holiday tradition. Many families enjoy illu-

minating their homes with decorative

lights, and some communities even reward

the household that goes above and beyondwith their holiday lighting display.

But as enjoyable and eye-catching as

such displays can be, they also can be

equally as dangerous. Hanging lights car-

ries a certain degree of risk, and it’s best for

homeowners to be as cautious as possible

when erecting their holiday lighting dis-

plays.

• Start with the lights. Inspecting the

lights is an important part of creating a

safe holiday lighting display, and this in-

spection should occur before you begin

decorating. Examine each string of

lights for damaged wires, including any

loose connections or broken sockets.

Discard any damaged sets before deco-

rating. If your inspection turns up any

burned out bulbs, always replace the

older bulbs with new bulbs of the same

wattage. In the past, a good rule of

thumb was to limit each extension cordto no more than three sets of lights.

However, if using LED bulbs, which

consume as much as 90 percent less en-

ergy than traditional incandescent bulbs,

you can have more sets connected to a

single extension cord.

After inspecting the lights, inspect the

other tools you will be using. Make sure

the ladder is sturdy and that your staple gun

and other tools are ready to be used. If any

tools fail your inspection, delay the deco-

rating until you can find adequate replace-

ments.

• Only decorate in the daytime. Sunlight

can be sparse during the holiday season,

when the sun goes down before many

working men and women leave their of-

fices much less arrive home. But deco-

rating at night is asking for trouble, so

make time to decorate during the day-

time. Decorating during the day makes iteasier to see potentially problematic

power lines, and the weather likely

won’t be as harsh during the daytime as

it will be at night, reducing your risk for

injury.

• Never decorate alone. When decorat-

ing, always have someone nearby in

case of emergency. Falling from a ladder

can cause serious harm, but having

someone there to hold the ladder can re-

duce your risk of falling. In addition, a

decorating partner can contact emer-

gency personnel should you suffer an in-

jury and become unable to reach the

telephone.

• Trim trees before decorating. Winter

might not be the ideal time to trim trees,

but streaming lights on overgrown trees

could pose a significant safety risk. A

tree that hasn’t been trimmed might

have grown close to power lines. When

that tree is covered in holiday lights,

contact with the power line could elec-

trify the tree, potentially causing prop-

erty damage or personal injury to any-

one within close proximity to the af-

fected tree. If you’re worried about

trimming a tree outside of its recom-

mended trimming season, do not deco-rate that tree with any lights.

• Strategically place lights. Lights

should never conceal a window, and the

cords should never be run across walk-

ways or steps. Lights that are strewn

across a window pose a safety hazard

should a fire occur at the home and win-

dow escape is needed. Cords that have

been run across walkways and steps

pose a tripping hazard, especially if a

light snowfall makes it difficult for fam-

ily members or guests to see the cords

on the ground.

• Make sure the lights are not on when

no one is home. Lights should never be

on when no one is home. This poses a

significant safety risk, and no home-

owner wants to arrive home to see their

house has burned down or suffered dam-

age from a fire. In addition, turn the

lights off before you go to sleep at night.

This makes the home safer at night and

will save you a substantial amount of

money.

Safety first with holiday lighting
