Weather safety this week

The freezing conditions, with snow and ice pellets, can cause significant travel delays and slower commutes.

Although residents in Quebec are used to extreme temperatures, the snow is still problematic, causing travel hazards.

As the snow continues to unload, poor visibility, wet and slippery roads are the main issues for many motorists and commuters.

As a result, commuters should allot more time to travel, as delays are expected.

Meanwhile, motorists driving at night should drive slowly and be alerted.

There could be a slight chance of getting stranded or stuck in the middle of the road due to the current weather conditions.

Therefore, a car emergency kit is a must for motorists, which includes a flashlight, power banks, snow shover, bottled water and a basic food pack.

However, it is best to reschedule your trip if the weather becomes severe. Monitoring the current weather reports in affected areas is highly advisable.

On the other hand, homeowners should consider checking their home's pipe system for frozen pipes. The freezing conditions could cause costly repairs for pipes at home.

Meanwhile, pets are also vulnerable to extreme temperatures, keeping them indoors is important.
