It only takes 12 inches of fast-moving water to carry off a small car and 18 inches of water to sweep a larger vehicle away. Turn Around Don’t Drown! tadd.weather.gov #FloodSafety #WinterSafety #WRW

This Weather-Ready Wednesday, remember that driving in fog can be dangerous. Be on the lookout for sudden changes in visibility. The patchy nature of fog can lower visibility quickly especially if you are driving fast, so be sure to slow down. Visibility may also be lower near rivers. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/fog/ #FogSafety #WinterSafety #WRW

This Weather-Ready Wednesday, be aware that high winds can make driving dangerous. If driving during windy conditions, slow down and keep two hands on the wheel, avoid large trucks and trailers, and be aware for downed tree branches and power lines.
