No be small thing o! As the matter suppose be, winter don show face for Upstate New York, and e get plenty wahala on ground. National Grid no wan waste time, dem don increase staff, dey preposition crews, and dey prepare everything well-well to handle the storm wey dey come.

A s una fit hear from di gist, winds go dey blow from 20 to 30 mph, with gusts wey fit reach 50 mph. Na serious matter be dat! E mean say if you get anything wey no secure outside, e fit waka go where e no suppose go. Tree branches fit break, power go dey waka, and visibility go dey low. Na so trouble dey start!

As storm dey prepare to land, from 7 PM on top this evening, we fit see snow wey go reach 1 to 2 feet, and some areas fit collect up to 3 feet. Na serious snow wey fit make travel very difficult, so if you no gree make waka, beta follow am jare. Dem talk say snow fit dey fall 1 to 2 inches per hour. As night don come, e fit turn to whiteout as wind dey carry snow waka around. If you no get any reason to come out, better stay house o!

Meanwhile, National Grid dey shine eye on di weather and dem don activate their emergency plan. As e be like dis, dem dey prepared to mobilize support teams and dem don also gather extra equipment for di areas wey dey expect gbege. Kyle Bentley, wey be di vice president for electric operations for National Grid, don talk say dem ready well-well to respond as e dey hot.

He add say, “We go dey monitor di weather every moment, and we dey tell customers to make safety priority.” If your power go out, no just sit down dey wait make dem notice, make sure you report am online. E go help dem do their work sharp-sharp. E no dey funny when you no get light, so better get your flashlight ready.

Dey go also advise make you check on your paddy wey dey old and make you operate your generator outside make you no chop carbon monoxide. If you fit use flashlights instead of candles when power don disappear, dat one go help reduce fire wahala. No forget say di young people wey dey use life support equipment get special arrangements, so make sure say una dey register with National Grid.

Finally, make we gree all dis gibberish about winter weather; e dey come, and if you no dey prepared, you go dey suffer. Just dey keep your ear to ground for more updates as we dey go, and stay safe, my people!
