Even though there’s no winter weather in the forecast, it’s time to winterize your vehicle just in case.
Check your windshield wipers, washer fluid and battery. Make sure that your windshield and rear-window defrosters are working. If you don’t have an ice scraper and brush, now’s the time to get them!
Studded tires are legal in Oregon through March 31. Install studded or winter tires before there’s snow and ice. Carry tire chains. Throughout the winter, regularly check your tire pressure. As little as a 10-degree change in temperature can impact tire pressure.
Try to keep your gas tank at least half full. If you get stranded or stuck in traffic, a full gas tank will help keep you warm and moving.
Make sure your vehicle’s emergency kit has:
- First aid kit
- Flashlight and batteries
- Phone charger
- Warm clothing and blankets
- Non-perishable food and bottled water
- Flares or emergency lights
- Sand or kitty litter for traction
