Winter Hazard Awareness Week

Winter Hazard Awareness Week

November 20, 2024 News -- KRJB-KRJM-KKCQ 0

It’s an interesting coincidence that the region’s first snowfall comes during Winter Hazard Awareness Week in Minnesota.  Clearwater County Sheriff Darin Halverson tells us something important when it comes to the forecast: the difference between a watch and a warning.

Halverson says if you do decide to drive during a winter storm, you had better be prepared in case you get stuck.

Halverson also says you shouldn’t count on having cell phone reception during a storm, so have a charging device on hand, too.
