Town of Windsor Snow Removal Plan

Winter Driving Tips

  • Have antifreeze, battery, heater, defroster and windshield wipers checked.
  • Install snow tires and make sure they are in good condition.
  • Carry jumper cables.
  • Carry a small shovel, a bag of salt or sand, and emergency tire chains.
  • Keep your gas tank at least half full at all times.
  • Clean all the snow off of your car, including head and tail lights, before you drive.
  • Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the car in front of you.
  • Travel during winter storms may take twice the normal driving time; plan accordingly and drive safely.
  • Slow down before you have to stop, especially when approaching an intersection.
  • Come to a stop by carefully and lightly pumping your brakes.
  • If you are caught in traffic, remember to reduce the use of accessories such as your radio, to minimize the drain on the battery.
