How to Safely Celebrate the Holidays with Family

December 21, 2020 by Kathryn Leave a Comment

For almost a full year now, families have had to change the way they celebrate special occasions. Some pared down their dinner guest on Thanksgiving. Others decided to skip trick-or-treating on Halloween. And now, health officials are warning everyone against travelling for the winter holidays and hosting family gatherings.

Experts have noticed that case patterns tend to spike directly after holidays and long weekends, so it makes sense that they’ve asked that no one burst their small social bubble and invite more connections inside.

7 Tips To Prepare Your Car For Winter

December 8, 2020 by Kathryn 1 Comment

Winter weather always means making some changes to the daily routine. Like most people, the first snowfall finds me digging out winter boots, putting away bicycles and other outdoor gear, changing my furnace filter, and doing some other general winterizing.

And in recent years, I’ve learned just how important it is to go through that same winterizing process on my car! Colder temperatures can cause more wear on a vehicle, and slippery roads can make issues like worn brakes or tires more obvious. A bit of proper winter maintenance can go a long way towards ensuring a smooth ride all winter!

1. Check Your Battery

Check the battery to ensure that there is no bulging in the casing, and no corrosion on the terminals. A quick cleaning of the terminals if needed can go a long way to ensuring a smooth winter start! If there are any visible issues, check with a professional to see if a new batter is needed. [Read more…]
