With the first wintery-like weather conditions expected early Thursday morning, local law enforcement is advising you to get your vehicle prepared for the upcoming season of snow on the roads. Door County Sheriff's Department Captain Carl Waterstreet says it is especially important to check the tread depth and quality of your vehicle's tires this time of year.
Waterstreet notes that roads have not been treated for snow or ice yet this season and may still have oil residue that can make for some slippery spots. He recommends carrying a spare phone charger and an emergency kit in your car's trunk with road flares, gloves, jumper cables, a flashlight, and blankets. You can find additional tips on what you should store in your car for winter driving below.
