If you're a man, pay attention
November 7, 2009
Based on statistics, the majority of winter weather-related fatalities are men, probably because men take more risks, and do not prepare for the possibility that something may go wrong. The majority of the fatalities related to snow and ice are actually men over 40 years old. About 70 percent of the fatalities occur in automobiles, while about 25 percent are people caught out in the storm.
