Winter Weather Information
Follow these tips to stay safe while driving in winter weather conditions:
- Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, allowing extra time for the commute.
- Drivers should leave plenty of room between their vehicles and the vehicles in front of them.
- Residents are encouraged to have an emergency supply kit in their cars. Items such as kitty litter, a small shovel and a scrap of carpet should be kept in vehicles, to use in case vehicles become stuck in the snow.
- Use caution when driving near plow trucks; stay out of their way so they can keep the roadways clear.
