Winter Storm Prep: Stocking Up Before the Cold Hits

If you've lived in Bagley long enough, you know that Minnesota winters don't mess around. A storm can roll in fast, and being caught unprepared - whether at home or out on the road - is no fun at all. The good news is that a little planning ahead makes a big difference.

When it comes to keeping your home warm, don't wait until you're running low to think about heating fuel. Bagley Co-op delivers heating fuel right to your door, so you can stay comfortable all winter without worrying about running out during a stretch of bitter cold.

At home, make sure your heating equipment is in good shape before the temperatures drop.

Stock your pantry with easy grab-and-go foods, and keep your vehicle emergency kit updated - blanket, jumper cables, a small shovel, and some snacks go a long way if you end up stuck on a rural road. While you're at it, top off your gas tank. It's always better to have it and not need it.

Bagley Co-op's Cenex C-Store is a reliable stop for fuel, snacks, and everyday essentials, no matter what the weather throws at us. Stay safe out there, neighbors - we'll be here when you need us.
