We've already seen winter weather interrupt and delay travel for many this season. Stay safe and be #WinterReady when you hit the road. Tips to help you on your winter travels. ⤵️

Slow down when driving in snowy and slick conditions! If winter weather comes to where you live, the safest thing to do is stay indoors. However, if you must travel, please be cautious. Drive slowly and leave large gaps between you and the other cars on the road.

Medical needs don't go away when the power goes out. If you or your loved ones take refrigerated medicines or use power-dependent medical devices, make sure you have backup plans so you can continue taking care of yourself if winter weather interrupts daily life. #WinterReady
