Get Ready for Winter
	Regardless of whether there’s snow on the ground, you can take steps to prepare yourself for winter and all that it brings. Feel free to use the information below as you prepare yourself for winter travel.
	Preparation is key to successfully navigating winter roads. Winter weather can bring unexpected conditions, so make sure that your vehicle is ready for ice and snow.
	For the majority of Pennsylvania, all-season radial tires that are mud and snow rated are appropriate for winter driving. In areas of the state that experience more snow, motorists may choose to install dedicated winter tires or carry a set of tire chains or cables.
	In addition to preparing your vehicle, carrying an emergency kit in your car is an easy but important way to make sure you’re ready for the season.
	Aside from travel preparations, there are ways that you can ensure that your mailbox is ready for winter.
	To help keep your driveway from being “plowed in,” PennDOT offers these tips.
	PennDOT’s Winter Driving Guide (also available in black and white) is another resource you can use to get ready for winter driving.
	Remember, if winter weather is forecast, eliminate all unnecessary travel. This will keep you and your family safe and allow PennDOT to more easily perform our winter duties.
