Snow!

Hey there my fellow Hillcats!

In case you didn't go outside or look out a window its snowing here in Claremore! Now I personally love snow. It's fun to play in, throw at eachother, and makes a good reason to stay inside and watch a movie or do homework.

Now with all this fun and play can also come some real dangerous situations especially if you are driving.

Before you are driving first thing to do is to make sure your windshield is clear of most if not all snow/ ice. The best way to do this is by starting the car to have the defrost blowing on the windshield on a medium setting, at least to start with, and using an ice scraper. NEVER pour water, espcecially hot water, onto your windshield when it is covered in ice. The rapid heating from the water can cause your windshield to crack!
Now as you are driving make sure to take it slow and give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination leaving about 20-30 minutes earlier should give you plenty of time. Look out for ice on the roadways and watch the other cars.
Should you happen to start sliding around do NOT slam on your brakes. This can cause one tire to grab the road better than the others sending you spinning everywhere. You need to let off the gas and slowly peddle the brakes until you regain control. If you start sliding to the side then turn your wheel to the direction you are sliding and peddle your brakes off and on until you turn back the right way.

Hope you guys have plenty of good safe fun out there!
