Driving on snowy, icy roads is hazardous. It’s wise to take precautions.
There’s no question about it, winter has arrived in Millsboro.
“Days after the first winter storm of the season dumped snow on much of the Delmarva Peninsula and beyond, more winter weather is expected in Delaware,” according to delawareonline.com. “And according to the National Weather Service, much of Kent and New Castle counties are expected to see 4 to 6 inches of snow [tonight] into Friday morning. Furthermore, Lower Kent County and Sussex will likely see lesser amounts.”
If you’re like many of us, your favorite fantasy at this moment involves staying indoors with hot chocolate or another warming drink. But, if you’re like most of us, that’s all it is – a fantasy. Instead, you’ll find yourself in a cold car, hoping the heater kicks in quickly, while you negotiate slick streets and the carelessness of other drivers. So, it’s time to pay close attention to your driving, your car and the driving conditions.
Your Vehicle and the Snow
“Snow is both beautiful and perhaps one of the more fun features of an otherwise difficult season. But even if you love to play in the snow, your car doesn’t. And snow is responsible for thousands of accidents each year,” according to Freedom General insurance company.
Freedom General offers several tips for safely negotiating snow- and ice-covered streets. Among them: drive slowly, leave extra distance between your car and other vehicles, steer into a skid and carry supplies just in case you get stuck. But Freedom General’s No. 1 tip has less to do with your driving style than with your equipment – Make sure you have the right tires on your car.
Your Vehicle and their Tires
Prevention is the best medicine, and this holds true for driving in the snow, as well. So, you will need to have the right tires in order to have the best chances of making it through a snowy winter. Plus, there are a lot of tires out there that claim to be all-season tires. Whereas, they may work well most of the time, you want to be sure you are able to manage during a snow storm. Therefore, you may be better off getting some tires that are designed specifically for the snow.
