When
the Weather Outside Is Frightful
By Pat Wood
 Many
people may snuggle up in front of a warm fireplace when winter weather
hits, but others may have fewer options.
Perhaps they
have no fireplace, maybe not even a place at all if they are homeless.
Or maybe they
have a house, but what if they don’t have enough money to pay
the heating bill, what with the rise in the price of oil?
Whether we
are rich or poor or somewhere in between, government resources and
information online may help us say, "Let it snow, let it snow,
let it snow. We’re prepared, we’re prepared, we’re
prepared."
These government
webpages will help you and your communities get prepared for winter.
