Winter Weather Preparedness
As the chance of snowfall increases, remember to always consider safety first.
Give yourself extra time to account for traffic and potentially longer drive times.
Consider communicating with the members early. Let them know where you are in the shopping process and if there are any expected delays.
If you are ever uncomfortable driving, remove yourself from the schedule. Be on the lookout for communications from HQ in the event of a major storm approaching.
Driving in snow and ice tips:
Accelerate and decelerate slower than usual.
Avoid sudden braking.
Increase your following distance.
Avoid hills when possible.
Be sure all of your windows and mirrors are clear of snow and frost before driving.
If you do start to slide, turn your wheels in the direction that the rear of your car is heading.
Go slow and steady.
