During heavy snow storms, residents should stay off the roads. Plowing becomes more difficult when there is traffic on the road. If residents must travel, they should make every effort to use major thoroughfares that have been plowed and/or treated with salt.
Before Leaving Home: Prepare Yourself & Your Vehicle
Emergency groups encourage you to have supplies that will last three days. You should keep your vehicle in top operating condition all year round for safety and fuel economy. Read your owner's manual and we encourage you to read and print Winter Driving Tips.
Take It Slow!
You cannot drive at normal highway speeds during a winter storm event. SUVs are not any safer in snow than other cars although people drive them as if they are.
