What would winter be like without beautiful white snow? Well, driving
would probably be a lot safer. Many people don't realize the increased
risks of driving in inclement weather. Just taking a simple trip to the
grocery store can be dangerous in some cases. The leading cause of death
during winter months is due to transportation accidents. During
inclement weather it is best to stay home; however, this is not always
feasible. Taking a few simple precautionary steps can help make a
difference in your winter travels.

#### VEHICLE PREPARATION

Wintertime is the harshest season for vehicles. Prepare your vehicle for
winter by scheduling a complete maintenance check in the fall.

**Battery**: Cold weather starts require a battery that is fully
charged. Recharge or replace weak batteries. Have your charging system
checked, too.

**Ignition system**: Damaged ignition wires or a cracked distributor cap
may cause a sudden breakdown.

**Lights**: Regularly check that *all* lights are functioning properly
and that headlights are properly aimed.

**Brakes**: Brakes should be checked and, if needed, serviced to ensure
even braking.

**Tires**: The traction between the tires and the road surface
determines how well your vehicle starts, turns and stops. Make certain
your snow tires or all-season radials are properly inflated and in good
condition. Ensure all four tires have the same tread pattern for even
traction.

**Exhaust system**: Have the exhaust system fully checked for leaks that
could send carbon monoxide into your vehicle.

**Heating and cooling system**: Check your radiator and hoses for cracks
and leaks. Make sure the radiator cap, water pump and thermostat work
properly. Test the strength of the anti-freeze, and test the functioning
of the heater and defroster.

**Windshield**: Make sure wipers are in good condition and fill up on
[winter]{.underline} washer fluid.

## Driving in Bad Weather

## When driving in bad weather plan ahead. It may save you a lot of hassle. The following are some things to think about during your planning process.

## Make sure you have enough fuel

## Clear your vehicle of ice and snow. Make sure your windows are clear of ice and fog. Turn on your lights when driving. If visibility becomes poor while driving pull off until it clears up. 

## Measure your speed conditions

## Sticks to main roads so if you have car trouble you can seek help easier, back roads are not always maintained. 

## Wear your seat belt at ALL TIMES

## Let someone know where you plan to travel and the route you are taking so you can be searched if you don't show up at a reasonable time

## Listen on your radio for current and future weather conditions

![](media/image17.wmf){width="2.4875in" height="1.3756944444444446in"}

**Black Ice!**

When it's forecasted for temperatures near freezing, always expect
**[BLACK ICE.]{.underline}** Remember bridges and over passes freeze up
before and remain frozen longer than other road surfaces. Also don't
forget those shaded areas of road -- they can and do hold treacherous
ice patches. The following tips are especially relevant to county roads
and need to be stressed:

-   Be exceptionally wary during early morning and late evening when
    road icing is most likely to occur

-   Icy sections are most likely to be found on and under bridges, on
    high sections of roads, at the tops of hills exposed to wind, in
    valleys and forest, and on roads near rivers, lakes and along foggy
    areas.

-   When driving on a wet road, there is always a strong possibility
    that black ice may lie ahead

-   Once on an icy section, do not accelerate, brake, downshift or make
    a sudden change in steering direction. Keep a safe distance from
    other vehicles.

-   If you should get into trouble, try to steer to the edge of the
    road. Sand and salt from previous road "dustings" may have blown to
    the road edges by past traffic and will you help you regain control.

-   Slow down and drive with care. Driving too fast allows you less time
    to react and reduces your chances of recovering from a mistake.

Every year thousands of people are fatally injured or killed due to
alcohol related vehicle accidents. During the holidays alcohol is one of
the temptations that people face. If you or your guests are going to
consume alcohol keep these few things in mind.

-   Limit to one drink per hour.

-   Make sure you or your guest avoid straight shot drinks.

-   Keep plenty of snacks around to help absorb the alcohol and avoid
    drinking on an empty stomach.

-   Stop serving or consuming drinks at least one hour before the party
    starts or departure.

-   Choose designated drivers

**Vehicle Skids**

![](media/image23.wmf){width="0.4027777777777778in"
height="0.4027777777777778in"}

Winter collisions can occur when your vehicle skids. A skid occurs when
you apply the brakes so hard that one or more wheels lock, or if you
press hard on the accelerator and spin the drive wheels. Skids also
occur when you are traveling too fast on a curve and encounter a
slippery surface. Skids can best be avoided by anticipating lane
changes, turns and curves; slowing down in advance; and by making
smooth, precise movements of the steering wheel. Regardless of the type
of skid you encounter, to regain control of your vehicle, DO NOT PANIC.

**Rear Wheel Skids**

1.  Take your foot off the brake or accelerator.

2.  De-clutch on a car with a manual transmission, or shift to neutral
    on a car with automatic transmission.

3.  Look and steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go.

4.  As the rear wheels stop skidding to the right or left, counter-steer
    until you are going in the desired direction.

5.  In a rear-wheel drive vehicle, if you over-correct the first skid
    (Step 4), be prepared for a rear-wheel skid in the opposite
    direction. Practice and the use of timely, gentle movement of the
    steering wheel are necessary to avoid this type of skid.

6.  Once the vehicle is straight, release the clutch or shift to drive,
    apply gentle accelerator pressure so that the engine speed matches
    the road speed, and accelerate smoothly to a safe speed

**Front Wheel Skids**

Front-wheel skids are caused by hard braking or acceleration if your
vehicle has front-wheel drive. When the front wheels lose traction, you
will not be able to steer the vehicle. Regardless of whether the vehicle
has front-, rear- or four-wheel drive, the best way to regain control if
the front wheels skid is:

 Take your foot off the brake or accelerator.

1.  De-clutch on a car with manual transmission, or shift to neutral on
    a car with automatic transmission.

2.  If the front wheels have been turned prior to the loss of traction,
    don\'t move the steering wheel. Since the wheels are skidding
    sideways, a certain amount of braking force will be exerted.
    (Unwinding the steering wheel will result in regaining steering
    sooner; however, the vehicle will be travelling faster because there
    is little sideways braking force. This technique should only be
    attempted in situations where limited space and sharp curves exist
    \-- however, in this case do not reduce pressure on the brakes,
    because the vehicle will shoot off in the direction the wheels are
    facing.)

3.  Wait for the front wheels to grip the road again. As soon as
    traction returns, the vehicle will start to steer again.

4.  When the front wheels have regained their grip, steer the wheels
    gently in the desired direction of travel.

5.  Release the clutch or shift to drive and apply gentle accelerator
    pressure so that the engine speed matches the road speed, and
    accelerate smoothly to a safe speed.

There is no risk at all of the car skidding in the opposite direction

**Four Wheel Skids**

Sometimes all four wheels lose traction. This generally occurs when the
vehicle is driven at a speed too fast for conditions. The most effective
way to get your vehicle back under control when all four wheels skid is:

1.  Ease foot off the accelerator or take your foot off the brake.

2.  De-clutch on a car with manual transmission or shift to neutral on a
    car with an automatic transmission, if you can do so quickly.

3.  Look and steer in the direction you want the front of the car to go.

4.  Wait for the wheels to grip the road again. As soon as traction
    returns, the vehicle will travel in the desired direction.

5.  Release the clutch or shift to drive and maintain a safe speed.

NOTE: Avoid using overdrive on slippery surfaces

**Proper Braking**

To survive on the road in winter, proper braking is essential. Stopping
on slippery surfaces means motorists must increase sight lines,
following and stopping distances. Beware of shaded spots, bridges,
overpasses and intersections. These are areas where ice is likely to
form first or be the most slippery.

### 

### Braking if you don\'t have anti-lock brakes:

If you don\'t have anti-lock brakes, the most efficient technique for
braking under these conditions is to use threshold braking together with
de-clutching (manual shift) or shifting to neutral (automatic
transmission). The best way to threshold brake (to make a controlled
stop) is the heel-and-toe method. Keep the heel of your foot on the
floor and use your toes to apply firm, steady pressure on the brake
pedal just short of lockup to the point at which the wheels stop
turning.

Under the stress of trying to stop quickly, drivers almost inevitably
overreact and lock the wheels. If this happens, use toe-and-heel action
to release brake pressure one or two degrees, then immediately reapply
it with slightly less pressure.

### Braking with anti-lock brakes:

According to a survey conducted by the CAA/AAA Foundation for Traffic
Safety, 50% of people are unaware of how anti-lock brakes and
traditional brakes differ. If you have an anti-lock brake system (ABS),
use the heel-and-toe method, but do not remove your foot from the brake.
When you put on the brakes hard enough to make the wheels lock
momentarily, you will typically feel the brake pedal pulse back against
your foot. Don\'t let up!

(Novice ABS users can try hard braking in a vacant snow-covered parking
lot.)

### How ABS works:

A sensor located at each wheel detects when the wheel stops turning and
starts to skid. As soon as the skid is detected, the anti-lock system
relieves the pressure just enough to allow the wheel to turn again. This
allows you to steer while you continue to bring the vehicle to a stop.

Even though the weather might be cold and wet, there still is a risk of
fires. Many things go on during the holidays from cooking Christmas
dinner to putting up decorations. Tasks like these may pose a risk of
fire. The following are some simple precautionary tips you can use to
prevent fires during the holidays.

height="0.5277777777777778in"}

**Holiday Decorations and Tree**

-   Purchase a fresh tree. A fresh tree is green. Needles will be hard
    to pull from branches when bent between your fingers. Fresh needles
    don\'t break if bounced on the ground, and a minimum number of
    needles should fall off.

-   Keep your tree fresh, cut off about two inches of the trunk to
    expose fresh wood for better absorption of water, keep stored
    outside the house till you\'re ready to decorate.

-   When placing your tree, make sure it is kept away from sources of
    heat, like fireplaces or heat vents, and out of the way of traffic.

-   Check out your lights before placing them on the tree. Look for worn
    or frayed wires and broken bulbs. Don't overload extension cords.

-   Take care when using candles. Keep them away from flammable
    decorations. Place them where they cannot be knocked over or reached
    by children or animals. Don't leave lit candles in an unattended
    room.

-   Make sure your smoke detectors are working properly.

-   When purchasing decorations look for flame retardant material.

-   Check extension cords for damage for cords may short.

-   If using an artificial tree purchase flame retardant.

-   Watch for pets playing with decorations, lights, and cords.

> **HOLIDAY COOKING TIPS!!**

One of the inevitable tasks during the holidays is cooking. There is
nothing like preparing for that big feast. However, many of our
traditions, such as leaving food out for hours to snack on, may pose a
risk.

## For Safe Holiday Food

-   **Thawing a Frozen Turkey** - Don\'t thaw on the kitchen counter.
    Thaw in the microwave or refrigerator.

-   **Snacking** - Snacking off the turkey is fine, but don\'t leave it
    out more than 2 hours.

-   **Leftovers** - To speed cooling, debone the turkey and refrigerate
    it in small, shallow containers.

-   **Cooking** - Don\'t cook turkeys overnight at low temperatures.
    Cook at 325ºF. Cooking at low temperatures can actually help
    bacteria grow.

-   **Desserts** - Cook custard to 160ºF and refrigerate pies made with
    eggs.

-   **Eggnog** - Don\'t use a raw egg recipe. Use commercially prepared,
    pasteurized eggnog or make your own with cooked custard base.

   [Deep-frying](http://www.allrecipes.com/encyc/terms/d/6222.asp) a
whole [turkey](http://www.allrecipes.com/encyc/terms/t/8983.asp) is a
[Cajun](http://www.allrecipes.com/encyc/terms/c/5608.asp) tradition that
produces sensationally juicy meat and delightfully crispy skin. An added
advantage of cooking a turkey this way is that it takes less than an
hour to cook the whole bird! Devotees of this Thanksgiving tradition
swear that once you try a deep-fried turkey, you\'ll never cook your
holiday birds any other way!

**Turkey Tools**\
Deep-frying a whole turkey is a messy proposition, and presents some
hazards, especially when doing it in an enclosed space. For these
reasons, the whole operation is always moved outdoors. There is some
special equipment you need in order to take on this project, and we
recommend that you don\'t attempt this without the right tools. You will
need a heavy-duty portable propane burner and a very large stockpot (26
to 40 quart capacity) or a custom-made turkey-frying pot to begin with.

In addition to these things, you\'re going to need some sort of
contraption that will help you SAFELY lower the turkey into a vat of
boiling oil, and remove it SAFELY once the turkey is done. To make your
life easier, you can simply buy a specially designed tool for holding
the turkey in place and moving it in and out of the pot (There are many
online specialty resources for buying turkey-frying equipment). Or if
you\'re up for the added challenge, you can fashion your own turkey
holder and lowering mechanism to help you dunk and lift the turkey
safely: Try a giant drain basket or a large vertical roasting stand, and
twist heavy wire around one end, and around a broom handle at the other
end.

**Sizing Up**\
Once you have decided how you\'re going to heft and fry the turkey, you
can proceed with getting and preparing the turkey. The ideal size for a
turkey to deep-fry is between 10 and 15 pounds. You can, of course,
choose a smaller turkey if you like, but a bird that\'s any larger than
15 pounds will be near impossible to handle in a deep-frying situation.
If you\'ve got more people to feed than a 15-pounder will provide for,
prepare two turkeys rather than attempting one monster. The turkey
should either be fresh, or completely thawed, before beginning. Check
right now to see if the bird has a plastic pop-up doneness indicator. If
it does, remove it.

The size of the bird you choose will determine exactly how much oil you
are going to need. The most accurate way of measuring this is to place
the bird in the pot you intend to use for frying. Pour in cold water
until the turkey is covered by a couple of inches. There should still be
several inches between the surface of the water and the top of the pot.
If there\'s not, you need a bigger pot. Now remove the turkey and pat it
dry with some paper towels. Measure the water that\'s in the pot \--
This is how much oil you\'ll need, so make a note of it. To be genuinely
Cajun, you need to use [peanut
oil](http://www.allrecipes.com/encyc/terms/p/7832.asp) for frying that
bird. This kind of oil is expensive, but it gives the best flavor and
will not smoke when it gets hot the way some other oils will.

**Turkey Seasoning**\
In preparation for frying, the turkey meat is traditionally injected
with a liquid seasoning blend
([marinade](http://www.allrecipes.com/encyc/terms/m/7380.asp)), then the
outside is rubbed with a dry seasoning blend (dry rub). To properly
season your turkey, place it in a pan and load your favorite marinade
(preferably a spicy one!) into a hypodermic meat injector. Inject the
marinade in several places on the turkey. Do this by carefully lifting
up the skin, rather than poking the needle through it. When the turkey
is good and loaded up with spicy, succulent juices, massage a nice big
handful of dry rub onto the outside of the bird and all around the
cavity. This can be done as much as 36 hours in advance, but you should
allow at least 12 hours in to give the flavors time to mingle and
penetrate the turkey while it\'s kept in the refrigerator.

Winter sports are very popular and are a great during family vacations.
Generally all sports have risks involved, but winter sports tend to
generate more concern for accidents are prone due to the weather
conditions and environment. Many mishaps are caused by lack of
experience and complacency.

As the holiday season approaches more and more shoppers will be hitting
the streets to find that special something for the youngsters. There are
many different kinds of toys to choose from, but keep in mind that some
toys can be hazardous to a child. Here are a couple of tips to keep in
mind when shopping for the little ones.

-   Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills, and interest level
    of the intended child. Toys too advanced may pose safety hazards to
    younger children.

-   For infants, toddlers, and all children who still mouth objects,
    avoid toys with small parts, which could pose a fatal choking
    hazard.

-   Look for sturdy construction, such as tightly secured eyes, noses,
    and other potential small parts.

-   For all children under age 8, avoid toys that have sharp edges and
    points.

-   Do not purchase electric toys with heating elements for children
    under age 8.

-   Be a label reader. Look for labels that give age recommendations and
    use that information as a guide.

-   Check instructions for clarity. They should be clear to you, and
    when appropriate, to the child.

-   Immediately discard plastic wrappings on toys, which can cause
    suffocation, before they become deadly playthings.

-   To avoid risk of serious eye or ear injury, avoid toys that shoot
    small objects into the air, or make loud or shrill noises. Parents
    can hold the noise-making toy next to their ear to determine whether
    it will be too loud for a child\'s ears.

-   Never buy hobby kits, such as chemistry sets for any child younger
    than 12 years old. Provide proper supervision for children 12 to 15
    years of age.

-   Tips of arrows or darts should be blunt, made of soft rubber or
    flexible plastic and securely fastened to the shaft.

-   A child\'s pediatrician can help parent\'s decide which toys are
    safe for newborns, toddlers and teens
