Residents and motorists should prepare for winter weather conditions.
- Check your tires! Tires tend to loose air in colder weather.
- Plan ahead and allow extra time to reach destinations.
- Fill your car with gas.
- Make sure you have the proper emergency equipment in your car and home such as extra batteries, lighters & candles. Even charger packs for cell phones.
- When driving in icy road conditions, the shortest route is not always the safest. Consider less hilly routes in route planning.
- Slow down! Remember the faster you are going the longer it takes to stop.
