No one wants to be on the road during bad weather, but being prepared can make all the difference. 

• Remove all ice and snow from your windshield, mirrors and side windows.
• Check your wipers and washer fluid.
• Make sure you have winter tires on your vehicle.
• Check tire pressure regularly as this can be affected by cold temperatures.
• Keep your gas tank topped up in case you get stuck in traffic.
• Carry a blanket, shovel, snacks, flashlight, emergency kit, road salt/sand.
• Check the forecast and don’t travel unless necessary during storms.
• Remember to slow down and drive for the road conditions.
• Tell someone where you are going and the route you are taking.
• Keep your cell phone fully charged.

If you do become stranded:

• Run the car for heat only 10 minutes at a time per hour to conserve gas.
• Make sure the tailpipe isn’t blocked and keep your window open slightly.
• Stay in your vehicle and turn on your emergency four way lights unless you can access help safely.
