We have had snow this Christmas.  That was followed by warm weather.  Sunday it may snow.  Changing weather means changing conditions.  Now is a good time before it gets colder again to check your tire pressure and your fluid levels in your vehicle.  Changing weather can cause a tire to lose pressure by it leaking.

Another thing to be careful about is carbon monoxide poisoning.  If you have a bad exhaust system, one that leaks, you need to immediately get it fixed.  People don’t smell carbon monoxide.  Up north where they have more snow, sometimes, people when stuck in the snow will run their engines to stay warm and not realize that they are poisoning themselves to death – quite literally!

Check your equipment before we have more changing weather conditions.  With good clear weather, it’s the perfect time before we have changing weather conditions.

The weather is supposed to get bad tomorrow with predictions of 1-2 inches of snow! If it does, please don’t drive! We don’t have the roads prepared like they do in areas that normally get snow. More importantly, even if you do or think you know how to drive in snow, everyone else in Alabama (or nearly so) doesn’t know how or have much experience driving in snow. You will be a target for them to hit you. Also, remember that bridges ice quickly even if there is not snow, so be careful.

I’m assuming that you’ve already got your bread and milk – snow survival food in this state. So, stay safe by staying off the roads and enjoy the pretty scenery at home with your family. You can take a walk in it and ponder the the last time it really snowed a lot here. If it snows, please don’t drive in it.

We are in the midst of a number of weather changes. Today, it seemed like perfect weather. However, in the next few days the temperature is expected to drop. Check your tire pressure now before it gets cold. Also, go ahead and check your tire tread. I just got some new tires this week. The tread was worn and I didn’t want to be risking my life or the life of anyone in my car or another driver due to worn tread. Note, they were not worn out. However, they were worn enough that it didn’t make sense to me with all the accidents I see to try to squeeze a few more miles out of them. I replaced them, so that I could avoid an accident. In Boy Scouts the motto is “Be Prepared.” Check your tires.
