Keep safe in the snow (should we get a flutter)

From Lewespeople:

As such many schools could still be closed

this week, ditto roads and trains (for details on the current status for all

see the links below) and expect (or hope) to find the gritters out late at

night. Currently we have dusting of snow but nothing too hazardous.

Check on your elderly neighbours, they may

need a loan of a heater or two, or even just some warm food or a blanket.

Stock up on the staples, bread, milk and a

bar of chocolate too. Speaking of chocolate if you are planning that ‘non-essential

journey’ make sure you have a fully charged mobile with you, along with a

warning board, flask of tea and a bar of the sweet stuff

Animals also suffer when temperatures

plummet (see), so it may be worth leaving out some food for them

and checking on the water supplies for any animals you keep outside (such as

chickens).

This being Lewes though (the town seems to have

its own micro-climate being nestled in the Downs) the really bad weather will

doubtless not occur here, probably much to the relief of those shops

participating in the late night shopping on Thursday.

Nonetheless, to be forewarned to be

forearmed.
