SNOW FALL WARNING If you don't have to go anywhere today, it would be a good idea to stay off the roads. If you must be on the roads, slow down, leave extra following distance, put your full headlight system on and keep your eyes on the road ahead. Never pass a working snow plow.
It’s a pretty winter morning out there unfortunately the roads are slippery. The plows are out, so if you have to go out allow extra time and drive accordingly. Also, remove all the snow from your vehicle windows and full lighting system on @DRPSWestDiv@DRPSRoadSafety
