If you will be leaving for all or part of the winter (long enough to have your mail held or         forwarded by the Post Office), please let us know so that we can stop sending your Bugbee Bulletin or send it to your winter address. Otherwise, the Post Office will return it to us and charge us 37¢.
A quick phone call from you will make a big difference to us. Be sure to let us know when you return so we can put you back on the mailing list or update your address.

No one ever expects to get stranded on the side of the road in a snowstorm, but it can, and does, happen. Here's what the    National Weather Service says you should keep in your car, just in case:

• Shovel. Even if you can't use it yourself, someone else might be able to help you.
  
• First Aid Kit. You should have one in the car all year long.
  
• Non-perishable food, such as granola bars and peanuts.
  
• Flashlight with extra batteries.
  
• Candles and matches.
  
• Extra clothing, sleeping bags or blankets for everyone.
  
• Tire chains.
  
• Battery-operated radio with batteries.
  
• Empty coffee can to be used to hold the burning candle.  A    single candle can radiate a surprising amount of heat.
  
• Booster cables. Again, even if you can't use them yourself, someone else might be able to use them to start your car.
  
• Cell phone with fully charged batteries. There are some areas where there is no cell coverage, but it's worth the investment, "just in case".
