Bowie's Winter Prep: Stay Safe and Cozy This Season!

As winter approaches in Bowie, Maryland, residents should prepare for the season's challenges. Historically, Bowie experiences average high temperatures of 45.5°F (7.5°C) and lows around 34.5°F (1.4°C) in December. Snowfall is typically light, averaging 0.63 inches (16mm) over approximately 2.4 days.

To ensure safety and comfort during winter months, consider the following steps:

- Home Maintenance: Inspect heating systems for efficiency, seal windows and doors to prevent drafts, and clean gutters to avoid ice dams.

- Emergency Supplies: Stock up on essentials like non-perishable food, water, flashlights, batteries, and blankets.

- Vehicle Preparedness: Equip your car with an emergency kit, check tire tread and pressure, and ensure the battery is in good condition.

By taking these precautions, Bowie residents can navigate winter weather with greater ease and safety.
