Road closures due to snow, flooding, and rockslides in some areas are possible. If you must travel, be prepared for winter driving conditions. In the mountains, always have chains, winterize your vehicle, and pack an emergency kit. Stay back and give our plows and first responders room to work safely. In wet weather, reduce speed and follow at a safe distance, inspect wipers, and replace them if needed. Don’t use cruise control, check headlights, inflate tires to the correct pressures, check the tread, and heed flood warnings and road closures.
