Winter is approaching quicker than we think so make sure your vehicle is prepared when a winter storm hits.  Now is the time to make certain your tires are properly inflated and have enough tread to be able to maneuver through snowy and slushy roads. Check your tires often during colder weather. Always keep at least a half of tank of fuel in your vehicle during the winter months. You will be glad you did in the event you get stranded on the highway due to a winter storm and vehicle accidents that could delay you for hours and even overnight. Keep blankets, ice scraper, snacks, water, cell phone chargers and any medication you may need. –This is very important during longer traveling trips. Remember the weather can change quickly – stay informed with local weather alerts and your local (DOT) Department of Transportation alerts. Be safe and if you don’t have to travel – Don’t!
