Bad Weather Expected This Evening

By  | 

Showers today will turn into freezing rain tonight, possibly with a bit of snow. As another cold front heads our way, be sure to stay safe on the roads and in your home. The Central Fire Department has issued tips on fire safety in you home during cold weather. These include never leaving a fire unattedned, never using your stovetop or oven for heating a room, making sure the damper is open before you start a fire in your fireplace, and turning off all portable heaters before leaving a room or going to bed. Avoid accidents on the roads by obeying the speed limit or staying under it, changing your windshield wiper blades if necessary, and paying attention to the road (not cell phones or the radio) while you drive.
