The week of October 19th through October 25th is Winter Weather - TopicsExpress



          

The week of October 19th through October 25th is Winter Weather Preparedness Week in Colorado. This is an excellent time for all individuals, families, businesses, schools and media outlets to review their winter storm preparedness plans. It is especially important for all new arrivals to the state to become familiar with the National Weather Service watch and warning definition as well as winter safety procedures. Are you and your vehicle ready for winter weather? A well-equipped vehicle has adequate tires, tire chains, tow rope, sand or cat litter for traction, shovel, tool kit, windshield scraper and brush, battery cables, first aid kit, flashlight, extra batteries, blankets and/or sleeping bags, extra clothing, candles, water proof matches, jug of water, high calorie packaged food for quick energy and an empty can to melt snow for drinking. The best way to prevent treacherous winter travel is to avoid it. This can be done by staying informed about the current weather and road conditions as well as the latest weather forecasts. Information on road conditions in Colorado is available on the web at cotrip.org or the toll free number 1-877-315-7623. You can also dial 511 to access Colorado road reports. Every day this week take a look at the National Weather Service blog on READYColorado. Stay #COwx aware and remain #COReady.
