We may get laughed at by our friends and family that live in the northern regions where they get snow dumped on them during the winter months, and hit with freezing temperatures.  However, we sure don’t hesitate to crank up that heat in the car, especially in the morning when our temperatures hit a low of 40 degrees.  So "our blood is thin" we tell them....as we punch the button to the highest temp it will reach.  Mine is 85!  Look out I'm roasting, as I remember yesterday of 75 degrees, a short sleeve shirt and the warmth of the sun on my skin.   And looking forward to mid-afternoon when it heats up to 76.   Our crazy weather we like to talk about is never a constant.  Well, unless you consider it constantly changing!  That’s why we need to always have our car Ready For The Road, and ready to drive it in any kind of weather!

Whether you are driving around town in the rain, or planning a trip up the mountain or somewhere you might encounter snow, you will want to make sure that your vehicle is ready.

Stay on top of your car/trucks condition.  

 Here are 5 Tips to make sure your vehicle is Ready For The Road and the weather.

1.    Check your brakes

2.    Tires: a good set of all season tires will usually do the job.  Check tire pressure and tread.

3.    Wiper blades:  If they are cracked and warn they will not help you in rain or snow.

4.    Radiator coolant: did you know that one of the uses for anti-freeze is to keep the heat in your vehicle.  There are many reasons why your thermostat in your vehicle might not work, however one of the easiest to fix is fill up your anti-freeze!

5.    Emergency kit:  you can buy one or make one, but it is always good to have one in your vehicle.
