Don't go over the river and through the woods this holiday season without being prepared

Are you prepared for holiday travel this year?

✅Make sure your vehicle is in good working condition before you travel, including checking the battery and tire treads. A full gas tank will also keep the fuel line from freezing.
📱On your phone, save family and emergency numbers, including your auto insurance provider and a towing company.
🆘Share your route and ETA with someone in case of an emergency.
🚗When driving, increase your following distance from 3-4 seconds to 5-6 seconds. It takes longer to slow down and stop on icy roads.
⛄If stranded, run the engine for about 10 minutes per hour to run the heater and charge your cellphone. Open a window slightly to let fresh air in and avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.

Wee bit o' frost

After the coldest morning of the season in much of the area, today will turn milder, but turn breezy with increasing clouds. Showers arrive tonight but should end early Saturday, resulting in a pleasant first day of the weekend. Showers return Sunday with colder weather returning early next week.

love the layers

As the weather cools down, remember: Preparedness works best in layers, just like your clothes! 🍂

Make sure that you and your family have backup plans in place for your go-kit:
✅ Warmth: Blankets, sleeping bags, sweaters, coats
✅ Light: Flashlights, glow sticks, candles, lanterns
✅ Food & Water: Canned goods, energy bars, bottled water
✅ Communication: Radios, Cell Phones, Walkie Talkies
✅ Transportation: Vehicles, public transit, evacuation and snow emergency routes

Review your kit for any expired batteries/canned goods/medication, check assistive devices and pack some warmer, weather-appropriate clothing.

Stay ready, stay safe, and enjoy the new season!
