Winter is here, and while we don’t necessarily expect our corner of New York to be over run by White Walkers a la Game of Thrones, its looking to be a pretty treacherous winter. So, to keep you and your loved ones safe, here are some handy-dandy tips for staying safe in the winter, particularly in inclement weather.
Preparedness is very important. Even if your vehicle has all-wheel drive, snow tires can still come in handy to maintain road grip and traction. Winter-ready washer fluid is also a great boon, as it cuts down on the time it takes to scrape ice off your windshield. Lastly, remember that slick roads increase braking distance, so make sure you give yourself a bit more time to slow down before that stop light or rail crossing!
