Don't drive unless you absolutely need to. During cold weather there are usually several cases where a hunter ultimately suffers from frostbite or even hypothermia. Or their vehicle gets stranded in a major winter storm due to heavy snow, ice accumulations, or blowing snow. Hunters should have proper food and clothing, and check the latest forecast. Visibilities are sometimes down to zero in blizzards thanks to falling snow or blowing snow, and winds frequently gusting to over 35 mph.
Blizzards cause accidents that can kill the driver, passengers, or pedestrians.
In every winter there are situations where someone or their vehicle falls through thin ice. Don't walk, fish, or drive on thin ice. Thin ice is more likely early in the winter, and toward spring. In every Wisconsin winter several people die to cold-weather hypothermia. For many reasons, people slip and fall on slippery pavement, hit their head, and become unconscious.
