Winter Driving with Early Snowfall

Early snowfall, Jesse Tam, the week was filled with turn back the clock and a surprise early snow in the northwest. It snowed on November 2, early for the year and created delays at SeaTac International airport with cancelled flights due to fog and de-icing of planes. Seattle had a flurry of the white flakes and Bellevue/greater eastside residences received several inches. Those living in higher elevations had slick road conditions on hilly neighborhoods.

The skiers are hoping to open the ski slopes soon with such an early snow. It's time to get those snow scrapers out of the garage and off the shelves as we plan ahead for the winter months. Time to collect some items to leave in your truck in case of stormy weather or traffic delays.

Here are a few handy items to carry:
  • Flashlight with extra batteries
  • Windshield scraper
  • Comfortable boots or walking shoes
  • Extra coat or blanket, hat, gloves, scarf
  • Small portable shovel
  • Snacks and/or water
  • Emergency kit
  • Safety flare
  • Booster cable
  • Fire extinguisher
Be prepare for the changes during the winter months with possible icy road conditions when the temperature dips below freezing. Remember to check the treads on those tires so it will be safe on the road when it rains or snows. Stay connected Jesse  https://jesset28.blogspot.com/
