Safety Precautions & Preparedness Guidelines

Roadway Safety

• Morning Frost & Sun Glare: Allow extra time before 9:00 a.m. today to clear frost from windshields and mirrors, and watch for slick patches on shaded rural roads, bridges, and overpasses. Low autumn sun angles under clear skies will also create strong glare during morning and late-afternoon commutes all week.

• Tire Pressure: Repeated overnight dips into the mid-30s can reduce vehicle tire pressure; check your PSI before heading out for the Monday morning commute.

Home, Plant & Pet Preparedness

• Vegetation & Outdoor Plumbing: Keep tender outdoor plants covered until temperatures climb above freezing after 9:00 a.m. today, and check exposed outdoor faucets and pipes for any freeze impacts.

• Pet & Heating Safety: Provide warm, dry shelter for outdoor pets during chilly mid-30s nights, and maintain proper clearance around indoor space heaters.
