With dicey weather expected this weekend, local authorities are reminding residents, safety needs to be the number one priority during inclement weather.
Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says the best advice is to give yourself plenty of time when traveling and make sure there is plenty of distance between vehicles when traveling.
The loss of power is always a possibility when discussing ice coming into the area. Chief Lowers says retaining heat in the home and coolness in appliances should be a point of emphasis in the event of power loss.
In the event the temperature in your home drops after power loss, Chief Lowers says it might be a good practice to let the faucets in your home stay a slow drip so pipes do not freeze.
He also recommends making sure there is plenty of food and water available if the power outage is extended.
