Plan journeys and activities with the weather in mind. Before you leave the house, consider if your journey is essential. Remember that the weather can change quickly.
During winter, dress sensibly. Store useful equipment in your vehicle such as shovels, non-slip mats, a good quality torch and a blanket.

Fix any property damage now. Adverse weather may worsen it.
