Even when it’s not precipitating, wet roads can quickly turn icy as temperatures dip below freezing. These unexpected slippery conditions can make driving hazardous. When roads look wet in the winter, stay cautious, slow down, and don’t use cruise control. Don’t let flash freezes sneak up on you!

Just because the weather is getting colder doesn’t mean that we will stop seeing ticks outdoors. Tick exposure can occur year-round. Before you go outdoors, know where to expect ticks. Ticks live in grassy, bushy, or wooded areas or even on your animals. Spending time outdoors walking your dog, hunting, camping, and hiking could bring you in close contact with ticks. Always check yourself and your pets for ticks before coming inside!

Thanksgiving tip: Don’t let germs crash your dinner! 🦃

Raw turkey can carry foodborne germs — store, thaw, handle, and cook it safely. Use a food thermometer to make sure your turkey and stuffing reach a safe internal temp.
