Forecasters Say Snowy Roads Likely

With the possibility of snow accumulating on our roadways for tomorrow morning’s commute, please remember to get up a little early & allow yourself plenty of time to safely get to work or school.  Here are a few more safety and maintenance “Tips” to keep in mind:

  • SLOW DOWN-Increase following distances-Leave early-Wear your seatbelt
  • 4 Wheel Drive/All Wheel Drive vehicles Do Not Stop any better than any other vehicles, they just get better traction from a stop allowing some drivers to travel faster than they should
  • Clean snow/frost from All windows, lights and license plates completely before driving
  • Don’t leave your vehicle running unattended allowing it to be a target for thieves
  • Check your tires (condition: minimum of 2/32 tread depth, air pressure, All season or snow tires)
  • Check or replace your wiper blades, fill your washer fluid tank
  • Clean the dirt/grime off your windshield to allow your wipers to work correctly
  • Check your antifreeze
  • Be courteous to others on the roadway, give them space and allow them into traffic
  • Look ahead and Anticipate other vehicles having traction issues and slow down
