It can also cause tire failure which in turn can lead to a sudden disablement and a possible vehicle crash.

Inflation should be checked every two or three weeks, and before long trips when the tires are cold. Your vehicle owners manual will tell you what the pressure should be," he said.

INTENSE winter storms are often accompanied by cold waves, ice or glaze, heavy snow, blizzards, or a combination of these. Often, in a single storm, precipitation changes several times as the storm passes. Their common feature is the ability to completely immobilize large areas and to isolate and kill persons and livestock in their path. Lovell added. underinflated storm deaths are traffic HE added that with preparation, the devastating effects of winter storms can be held to a minimum. Lives, property and livestock can be saved with a little knowledge of the danger of winter storms. Winter storms can occur in just about any of the fall to early spring months.
