With the snow now falling and Eastern Wisconsin being under a Winter Storm Warning, the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office is encouraging drivers to be aware of the conditions and use some strategies to drive safely in the winter storm.
This includes being patient when driving, giving yourself additional time for your commute, turning on your lights, and keeping a good distance behind other vehicles.
Drivers are also encouraged to slow down, wear their seatbelts, and give first responders, wrecker operators, and maintenance vehicles space to do their jobs safely.
The Winter Storm Warning will remain in effect until 9:00 a.m. tomorrow, and up to a foot of snow is expected in certain areas.
