Being prepared for it is always a good idea, here are some of the things that you can do to reduce weather related problems this winter…

Keep Supplies in your Car – Snow and ice as well as flooding are part of the weather in Britain, and if this happens when you are on a car journey, it could mean that you end up stuck somewhere. Keep a bag in the car with snacks, water, food, a blanket and a mobile phone charger so that you can be safe if you are stuck somewhere awaiting rescue.
