​Follow these tips this winter to stay safe and warm while out on the road:

• Make sure someone knows when you leave, where you are going, and when you arrive safely.
• Write down key phone numbers in case you get stuck and your phone battery dies. You can borrow someone's phone, but they won't know your friend or loved one's phone number! 
• Keep your hands on the wheel while driving and keep the radio at a volume low enough to hear traffic, plows, and ambulances.
• Don't crowd the plows! You can see them, they can't always see you. Remember that the plow extends out wider than the truck's body and headlights, too.
• Turn your headlights on, even in daylight and don't use bright lights in fog! High beams create a glare on the road for you and it's blinding for opposing traffic.
• Finally, leave plenty of time to drive slowly and safely in bad weather. Take into account how much time it will take to clean ice and snow off the car, too

Do you have the holiday blues or don't know how to support loved ones who are having a hard time this season? It's true that many people struggle with grief during the holidays, especially in the face of expectations of joy and wonder.
