3. 🔥 Keep a 3-foot radius clear around your space heater. Keep it away from curtains, furniture, and anything that could potentially catch fire. 4. ⚠️ Never stick your hands in a running snow blower to clear a jam! #WinterFireSafety #Winter2024 #LakeEffectSnow #WinterWeather

2. ❄️ Also, remember to keep furnace vents along your house clear to allow them to work properly and not build up deadly Carbon Monoxide (CO) inside your home! #WinterFireSafety #Winter2024 #LakeEffectSnow #WinterWeather

Get ready, more snow is on the way. #SnowBlowerSquad, Mount Up!! Don't forget to get those HVAC vents clear, and especially those hydrants! @JeremyWGR
The next round of heavy lake effect snow is set to impact areas east and northeast of Lakes Erie and Ontario later today through Thursday. Localized event total snowfall amounts of 1-2 feet plus will impact similar areas that just received heavy snow from the recent storm.

Important!! Keep your vents clear!
Make sure you clear your vents! Mine went from fine to completely drifted over in a couple of hours. Photo on the right is after I dug them out. @wgrz

Remember, as you dig out today, take five extra minutes to clear your nearest fire hydrant. Plows are out clearing streets and snow can easily get pushed up and over a hydrant. You or your neighbors will be grateful if it’s needed in an emergency. @wgrz
