...WINTER WEATHER PREPAREDNESS...

WITH THE PASSING OF THANKSGIVING AND THE DAYLIGHT HOURS BECOMING 
SHORTER, WE ALL KNOW THAT WINTER IS ON THE WAY. DECEMBER 1ST IS THE 
START OF METEOROLOGICAL WINTER BUT IN ANY GIVEN YEAR SEASONAL WINTER 
DOES NOT START UNTIL THE WINTER SOLSTICE, THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF 
DAYLIGHT HOURS IN THE YEAR. THIS USUALLY OCCURS ON DECEMBER 21ST.

AS WE NEAR THE CHANGE IN SEASONS EVERYONE SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR
THE WEATHER THAT THE CHANGE BRINGS. WHETHER IT IS FREEZING RAIN,
SLEET, SNOW, EXTREMES COLD TEMPERATURES,OR VERY HIGH WINDS, HAVING
A PLAN OF ACTION FOR SUCH EVENTS IS THE FIRST STEP TO STAYING
SAFE.

FOR SEVERE WINTER WEATHER...IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO CARRY BLANKETS, A 
FIRST-AID KIT, AND NON- PERISHABLE FOODS AND WATER IN YOUR CAR IN 
CASE YOU BECOME STRANDED. STAYING DRY AND COVERING ALL EXPOSED BODY 
PARTS WILL PREVENT HYPOTHERMIA AND FROST BITE FROM OCCURRING.

HOWEVER, NOW IS THE TIME TO HAVE YOUR CAR PREPARED FOR WINTER.  IT 
IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A WELL TUNED AUTOMOBILE AS WELL AS GOOD 
WIPERS AND TIRES CAPABLE OF TRAVELING THROUGH WINTRY CONDITIONS.
