Although Delaware County has returned to normal travel status, driving with caution is still advised.

Winter-wise Driving Tips:

Pay attention to weather reports on the radio. Allow time in your schedule for bad weather and/or traffic delays.
Become familiar with your vehicle’s winter weather operating characteristics. Front-wheel-drive vehicles generally handle better than rear-wheel vehicles on slippery roads because the weight of the engine is on the drive wheels, improving traction.
Keep your windows clear of snow and ice. Remember to clean head, tail and brake lights.

If you need to turn on your wipers, you need to turn on your headlights.
Bridges become slick and icy before roads. Bridge temperatures can be five to six degrees colder than roadways, so drive with extreme caution during freezing temperatures.
Keep your gas tank at least half full. Fill the tank before you park for lengthy periods. This will help prevent fuel line freeze-up.
