It has been a slow start to the season indeed. For the first major storm of the season and the first storm that has brought more than a foot of snow to most places it has hit in the US, the classic car panic has ensued.
Driving in slick and snowy conditions really is no joke. BUT - never fear. You have heard the term of the 5 p's: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance... and if you haven't, well, now you have. Let us help you.
Preparing for driving in a winter storm is crucial for safety.
- Start by checking weather forecasts and road conditions before heading out.
- Ensure your vehicle is winter-ready by installing snow tires, checking the battery, and topping up essential fluids.
- Pack an emergency kit with items like a blanket, flashlight, food, and water.
- Keep your gas tank at least half full to prevent fuel line freezing.
- Equip yourself with warm clothing and sturdy boots.
- Inform someone about your travel plans and expected arrival time.
- Finally, drive slowly, increase following distance, and stay alert for changing road conditions.
Good luck out there, folks, and bring on the snow!
