Things to Note When It Snows in Osaka!
The upcoming snowstorm is a great opportunity for us to experience an exciting winter, but we also need to be careful to protect ourselves and those around us.
Hello everyone! ?️
As you know, the weather is changing abnormally and it is forecasted that on the morning of the 24th of this month, the Osaka area may experience a heavy snowfall. For those who are not used to living in cold and snowy weather conditions, this is definitely a big challenge.
So, what should we pay attention to when a snowstorm hits? Let's go over the things to keep in mind!
1. Safety when traveling
First of all, safety is the top priority! If you plan to go out, make sure you have prepared yourself with warm shoes with good grip. Snow and ice can make the roads slippery, so go slowly and carefully. In particular, areas such as bridges, sidewalks or entrances to houses are often more prone to ice.
2. Be careful with trees
Another thing to note is the condition of trees during a snowstorm. Heavy snow can cause tree branches to fall, especially those with weak branches. If you live near a park or a wooded area, be careful when walking near it. Avoid standing under large trees, especially when there are strong winds.
3. Take care of your health
Don't forget that cold weather can affect your health. Make sure you keep your body warm, especially your hands, feet, and head. If you have health problems such as asthma or heart disease, keep your medication on hand and avoid going out unnecessarily.
4. Stay in touch
During snowy days, it is important to stay in touch with friends and family. If you have elderly people living nearby, check in with them to see if they need help. Snowstorms can disrupt transportation and food supplies, so make sure everyone is safe.
5. Plan for snow removal
If you live in a house, clearing the snow after it stops falling is a necessary task. Prepare yourself with a snow shovel and remember to wear gloves to protect your hands from the cold. However, do not overdo it, take frequent breaks to avoid muscle fatigue.
In short, the upcoming snowstorm is a great opportunity for us to experience an exciting winter, but we also need to be careful to protect ourselves and those around us. Be mentally and physically prepared to deal with this harsh weather!
Wishing everyone a safe and warm winter! ❄️❤️
