Context & protective measures
Background: winter hazards include snowfall, black ice, avalanches and severe cold. The main risks are falls and traffic accidents on slippery surfaces, blocked roads, snow-load breakage of trees and power lines, and hypothermia. In mountain areas the avalanche danger rises sharply with fresh snow and wind.
Recommendation
Likelihood very low, impact low. Prepare using the linked guide.
Protective steps: adapt your driving and footwear, avoid unnecessary trips and allow more time. Keep warm clothing, blankets and supplies ready and expect power outages. In the mountains, check the avalanche bulletin and avoid exposed slopes.
