Extreme winter weather can increase the hazard of accidents. When driving, slow down, especially on bridges, which tend to ice up. During severe weather, your vehicle may not be able to sustain wet, slick or icy roads. It’s best to stay at home during this time. Should you decide to drive, take it slow and keep your distance from others.
