McCombs Supply Prepares for

Winter, just like 'Game of Thrones'

Are you one of the many fans from around the world drawn into the "Game of Thrones" hype?

If so, you know very well "Winter Is Coming" is a common motto in this Emmy-award winning HBO series that is currently airing its seventh and next to last season.

The popular cable TV drama based on the best-selling book series by George R. R. Martin called "A Song of Ice and Fire," is a medieval fantasy epic where the characters are pawns in a deadly game to control the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros.

"Winter Is Coming" -- now seen on T-shirts and coined by fans of "Game of Thrones," is the motto of the House of Stark, the lords, who always strive to be prepared for the coming of winter, which hits the lands the hardest. 

George R.R. Martin said a deeper meaning in the motto is that  "there are always dark periods in each of our lies, even if things are good now (summer), we must be ready for a dark period when events turns against us (winter).

So "Winter Is Coming" is all about being prepared (maybe the Boy Scouts of America will take this on as their new motto). 

Piggybacking the idea of being prepared and knowing that the nice, the warm weather days of August (summer) are almost over, McCombs Supply Co., Inc. employees started saying "Winter Is Coming."  

It is never too early to be prepared for winter. 

With that in mind, here are some cold weather ideas you may want to stock up on.
