Now is the time to prepare for winter weather. Before snow begins to fall, make sure you have a well-stocked emergency kit and have devices charged in case the power goes out. Stay off the roads when conditions become hazardous. #ncwx Learn more at readync.org/stay-informed/….

Simpler version: If you park on the top level of the deck this evening and the pavement begins to ice, your car will be stuck up there until it's safe to reopen that level of the deck. You probably don't want to leave that to chance. 🤷‍♂️

ALWAYS CLEAR THE SNOW OFF OF YOUR VEHICLE BEFORE YOUR DRIVE! I just saw a truck with a snow-covered roof and the snow slid forward and completely blocked the windshield when they stopped. Also saw a car on the road with a completely snow-covered rear window. Be smart and be safe!
