(COLORADO) — Some parts of the state are dipping into the low temperatures due to a system coming in on Tuesday morning, Nov. 19. With another round of weather on its way, the Colorado State Patrol (CSP) is urging drivers to protect themselves, their passengers, and those they share the road with.

With this system, parts of Colorado should expect another band of snow, wind, and ice. Before heading out, you may want to make sure your car is equipped to endure the weather with these tips:

Monitor local weather alerts.

Check COTrip for information on road closures.

Clear your car of snow and ice before leaving your location. Do not leave snow on the roof or let any snow cover windows or mirrors.

Make sure your vehicle’s tires are all 3/16’’ tread depth.

Check your windshield wipers and fluid. Replace your wipers and replenish your car’s wiper fluid if needed.

Check your battery and make sure it’s functioning.

Electric and Hybrid cats should charge up as cold temperatures can drain the battery.

As a reminder to professional drivers, CSP says all commercial vehicles should be carrying chains. As for weather alerts, individuals can check out our Storm Team’s forecast or get the FOX21 News Weather app on Google Play or the App Store.

Drivers should also keep extra clothes, snow boots, blankets, food, and water in their car, in case extreme conditions require them to shelter in their vehicle for some time. A power bank charger is also recommended.
