Space heaters can help keep you warm, but they must be used safely: ๐Ÿ”ฅ Place 3 ft away from anything flammable (curtains, furniture, etc.). ๐Ÿ”Œ Plug directly into a wall outletโ€”never use an extension cord. ๐Ÿ•’ Turn them off when you leave the room/go to sleep. Stay warm, stay safe!

Bundle up, CT! The wind chill will make it feel like the low to mid-teens today. Stay warm, layer up, and limit time outside if you can! Don't forget to limit pet's time outside, too.โ„๏ธ๐Ÿฅถ #CTWX #StayAwareBePreapred

With incoming snow, don't forget that February is #NationalCannedFoodMonth! Canned foods are nutritious & have a long shelf life - so raid your cabinets if you are snowed in. From veggies to proteins, they lock in nutrients & make meal time easy. Whatโ€™s your go-to canned food? ๐Ÿฅซ
