I wonder how our ancestors survived all these deadly weather attacks
without
the benefit of modern media warnings.



They didn't!


Sure they did....

When it was winter, they *dressed* for winter... all of the time.... and not
in fancy topcoats, low shoes and thin gloves, with no hat.

They travelled by a means and at a speed that were suitable to the
conditions.

And they knew enough that there was nothing so urgent that it could not wait
for a day or two and be done later... so they stayed put until the weather
improved.
