Hopefully, it won't be a large accumulation of snow and it might not even be more than a dusty sprinkling of light snow, but depending on how much we get, school openings and bus stop pickups could be delayed so just be prepared in case.

Here are some tips I think will help the anticipated snow shower driving morning commute:

Make sure your littles who walk to school or the school bus stop are prepared with the right kind of non-slip snow boots.

Ensure your car's tires aren't bald, otherwise you'll be slipping and sliding all across the roads.

Give yourself enough time to get to work in case you get stuck behind slow drivers.

Winter is coming! Drive slowly to avoid causing car accidents because you feel high and mighty in your large snow tires. Have some respect for other drivers, for the love of Pete!
