Winter driving Essentials: Recommendations from the Weather Service for Safe Travel

Winter weather can make driving treacherous, leading to over 6,000 weather -related vehicles and over 480,000 damage each year. When traveling under snow or freezing rain, prioritize security by slowing down. At almost freezing temperatures, it is safest to assume that ice -cold conditions exist on roads and adjust your driving accordingly. Be careful with ice that accumulates on power lines or tree branches, which can lead to snapping and falling dangers. If possible, avoid driving under such conditions. If you need to venture out, select routes with fewer trees and power lines. Never touch a reduced power line and immediately call 911 if you encounter one.
