How long can kids play in the snow?

Ages 2-4: 15-20 minutes before warming up. Ages 5-8: 30-45 minutes. Ages 9+: up to an hour if properly layered. Watch for signs of cold: red cheeks, complaining, shivering, or lethargy. Bring them in and warm up before heading back out.

What if the power goes out during a snow storm?

Power bank for devices. Blankets and layers for warmth. Group in one room to conserve body heat. If you have a fireplace, use it. If indoor temps drop below 55F and power is not returning soon, seek shelter elsewhere.
