Planning for this weekend’s snowstorm? Here’s the one thing to avoid: driving. 

Alan Black and Thomas Mote at the University of Georgia compared deaths from winter-related travel with those from other weather events. Between 2002 and 2011, there were an average of 842 deaths from winter-related automobile accidents annually. That’s more than the average deaths from lightning strikes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and rip currents combined.

Stay off the road this weekend, especially those on the I-95 corridor.
