❄️ First Snow of the Season? ❄️

It looks like we could see our first snow of the season Sunday into Monday morning! While it may not amount to much, it’s a great reminder that winter is on the way.

Now’s the perfect time to:
🧹 Dust off the snow brush and shovel
🚗 Check your vehicle’s emergency kit (blanket, flashlight, jumper cables, snacks, water, phone charger, etc.)
⚠️ Review safe winter driving tips:
• Slow down and increase your following distance
• Keep headlights on in snow or low visibility
• Clear all snow and ice from your windows and mirrors before driving
• Give plow trucks and first responders plenty of space

A little preparation now can go a long way once winter fully arrives. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy the first flakes of the season! ☃️
