Drivers in the Northeast this week will want to be paying close attention to the weather, as always, as Nor-Easter "Stella" is dumping a pile of snow and general mayhem on the entire region. Connecticut has enacted a travel ban for the state as a whole, and New York preemptively declared a State Of Emergency in anticipation of this giant storm system rolling through.

HOW TO DRIVE A BIG RIG IN WINTER CONDITIONS RAIN, SNOW, SLEET & ICE 75532

Produced by the United States Department of Commerce and the Bureau of Public Roads in the 1960's, "Winter Truck Driving" features an International Harvester big rig with Fruenauf trailer making its way through icy and snow conditions. The film discusses some of the many hazards that a professional truck driver can face in rain, sleet, snow, and icy conditions.

Though produced in the 60's, this film is always worth a look, as driving in winter weather hasn't really changed all that much. Obviously, the best advice for driving a semi-truck in winter weather, is don't. Pay close attention to what the weather is doing, and is going to do, and avoid driving into and through poor conditions whenever possible.

Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe, out there.....
