Do you live in an area hit by snow in winter? If so,you may experience snowstorms. A snowstorm is a very heavy fall of snow,usually with a strong wind. Now let's take a closer look at it.
Snowstorms make it difficult for people to travel. They also make it difficult for people to buy food and other things they need for daily life. Snowstorms can also lead to health risks,including frostbite(冻伤).
You should pay attention to the weather report. Then you can get well prepared for snowstorms. You can change your travel plan in time before snowstorms arrive. Prepare what you need to keep warm,and save enough food and water for your family. If your house is not strong enough,move to a safer place quickly. In this way,you won't get hurt if it is damaged by heavy snow.
If you are indoors,try not to go out. Use heating tools in a proper way when staying indoors. If coal is used for heating,keep the windows open to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning(一氧化碳中毒). If you have to go out,you need to wear thick clothes to keep warm. And you'd
better wear proper shoes to prevent you from falling down. Besides,be careful of falling power lines,because they can be dangerous for people on foot.
These are some basic things about snowstorms,and you need to keep them in mind. Protect yourself during snowstorms.
