Steven Taylor on Surviving Cold LA Weather

 

These days, Steven Taylor is constantly reminded about the good old days when Los Angeles weather was warmer. 

Around a few months ago, before 2021 ended, Los Angeles was somewhat beset by very warm weather. While it was uncomfortable for some, it meant plenty of time for people to go to the beach. In fact, Steven Taylor would often visit the beach together with his family. And so did a great number of people. Just about two weeks ago, Anaheim was the warmest place in the entire Southern California region, with temperatures soaring up to 85 degrees.

Today, however, downtown Los Angeles is bracing for the incoming sleet and snow, thanks to a snowstorm in the mountains of the Southern California region. People in the LA mountains are being advised by local authorities to keep warm and keep safe.

While the city of Los Angeles may experience some snowy weather, Steven Taylor believes that now is not the time to be complacent. If not careful, frostbite could be the least of one’s worries. As such, it’s time to think about how to get comfortable during this snowy and cold weather.

Don’t get Cheap on Warm Clothing

Once the snow sets in, it’s time to start pulling out all the warm clothing that you can wear during the cold weather. When one needs to buy new winter clothing, it’s very important to not cheap out on the warm clothing section. These are the types of clothing that one will need to protect against the harsh, cold weather. Cheap winter clothing is sometimes not made from the best materials, so do keep that in mind.

However, when times are tough, then it’s a different story. While rare, there is cheap winter clothing that is actually made from really good materials. Another great tip would be to wear multiple layers of clothing underneath. That will keep one’s body insulated at all times.

Avoid Going Out Unless Needed

The general rule during winter weather is to not go out unless it’s an emergency. Steven Taylor always does the grocery shopping first and foremost and it’s always done before the cold weather sets in. But if you do need to get food or if you live alone and don’t go out for groceries often, one can always count on getting food delivered right at your doorstep. The same also goes for grocery shopping. 

There are countless apps on the Internet that allow people to buy groceries online and then have those groceries delivered. 

Home Insulation and Heating is a Must

Getting one’s own home warm and insulated is another very important task to do before the winter weather sets in. If the house heater needs maintenance or repair, then go ahead and make sure that’s taken care of. Does the house insulation need renovation or repair? Get that done as quickly as possible. 

A house that is well heated and well insulated will keep you and your family comfortable during the harsh winter months.

Always remember to follow these steps. Steven Taylor always makes sure that his house is well prepared for any incoming cold weather to protect his family from health issues that may suddenly appear when exposed to harsh winter weather.
