Be Prepared for Winter Driving Conditions

Stay informed about weather and roadway conditions
We all know weather in Arkansas can change quickly but checking in on the most recent forecasts will help you make smart decisions about roadway conditions. There are a number of resources on current roadway conditions available for interstate travel conditions, for the surrounding states including Arkansas , Oklahoma, and Missouri. Check with your local authorities to stay informed about local roadway conditions. If weather starts to become icy, these resources have the most up to date information on roadways conditions.
  

If the weather takes you by surprise and conditions turn for the worse, having an emergency kit in your car can prevent disaster. Make sure to have warm blankets, bottled water, food as well as the regular car emergency items. Last week, we talked about the items you should keep in your winter emergency kit -- if you didn't stock your car then, take the opportunity and do it now.

Fuel Up
Northwest Arkansas is notorious for debilitating icy storms that even shut down gas stations due to electrical outages. When you know a storm is coming, make sure to top off your gas tank and avoid being stuck with an almost empty tank when you might need it most.

Dress Warmly 

While dressing warmly might see like an odd tip for traveling in your nice warm Subaru, you never know when the situation might arise that you'll need to leave your vehicle. Dressing warmly and in layers will keep you prepared for the worst.
