*Slow Down: Drive slow, use caution, and leave plenty of space between you, other drivers, and snow plows.

*Give The Room: If you see plows out on the road, give them plenty of space. They make frequent stops, starts, and turns.

*Clear Hydrants: Remember to clear the snow around your fire hydrant so crews can easily access it if needed in an emergency.

* Be Patient: During a snow storm, crews will be out working. They start with the main streets and continue to clear all side streets in the Village.
