Heading Home? Be Safe on the Roads.

How to Drive in Snow and Ice

The three key elements to safe winter driving are:

• Stay alert; 
• Slow down; and 
• Stay in control

It is best to winterize your vehicle before winter strikes.  

Schedule a maintenance check-up for the vehicle’s tires and tire pressure, 

battery, belts and hoses, radiator, oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, 

heater/defroster, wipers and ignition system. Keep your gas tank 

sufficiently full – at least half a tank is recommended. Depending upon 

where you drive, you may consider using winter tires or tire chains.

First Day of Winter

Winter Solstice, otherwise known as the first day of winter

and today would be that day!

December 21, 2017

The Winter Solstice

Winter inspires both joy and woe. Some people can't wait for the cooler weather, snow, skiing and ice skating, curling up by a fire, and the holiday spirit. Other people dislike the frigid temperatures, blizzards, and wild weather.

The word solstice comes from the Latin words for "sun" and "to stand still.” In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward each day; the high point in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, which occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day. At the winter solstice, the Sun’s path has reached its southernmost position. The next day, the path will advance northward. However, a few days before and after the winter solstice, the change is so slight that the Sun’s path seems to stay the same, or stand still. The Sun is directly overhead at "high-noon" on Winter Solstice at the latitude called the Tropic of Capricorn.

Winter solstice is the day with the fewest hours of sunlight during the whole year. In the Northern Hemisphere, it occurs around December 21 or 22. In the Southern Hemisphere, around June 20 or 21.

For more folklore see Farmers Almanac

Wishing you a happy Winter Solstice 

Safe travels this week!

Heed this Plea from Tow Truck Driver

"Slow Down, Slow Down when you see
flashing lights"
 Story Here


Here we go into the holiday RUSH and we understand, 
we're out Christmas shopping too!  But since we're in the tow truck business we wanted to remind you once again that
we have FAMILY, we have FRIENDS, we have CO-WORKERS, we have BELOVED PETS.........
and we all want to arrive safely home!  

So, please MOVE OVER if you see us on the road 
trying to help someone in need. 
We're just doing our job.

Steer Clear

or Move Over

Just Do It!

Ok, so it is a little confusing when the industry has been 

using the term Move Over and now all of a sudden

I'm seeing Steer Clear........but the deal is, they're

one in the same and that is what is important.

You've got to Move Over - It Saves Lives!

Feel Good Animal Rescue!

Oh, we all love happy endings and especially during the Holiday

Season to remind us to keep the Spirit alive!

WILLIAMSPORT — Using a calm approach with the animal 

and calling in a tow truck to provide muscle, 

emergency crews Sunday afternoon were able to 

rescue a horse from a mucky, slow-moving stream 

which a humane society worker 

described as being like "quicksand."

 Full Story Here

 

Thank goodness for the passerby who happened to see the horse

stuck in the quicksand like situation!  Of course there are no

words to thank the emergency crews for their diligent work in

this emergency.  

We've had our share of emergencies rescues and we know

the relief that's felt by all when our attempts are

successful!

Old Fashioned Festive Fare

Whether carried on by culinary tradition or celebrated in story and song,

some foods from years past remain part of the season's festivities:

Chestnuts.  The lyrics of a sentimental holiday song describe "Chestnuts

roasting on an open fire."  Roasted chestnuts have been a common street

food for centuries in Europe and Asia.  The brown nuts are heated over a

flame or in an oven.  Once cooled, peeling the hard shell reveals a meaty,

sweet-tasting nut.

Sugarplums.  The beloved Sugar Plum Fairy rules the kingdom of Sweets in

the popular ballet "The Nutcracker".  A long-ago luxury, the confection from

the 17th to 19th centuries was not actually a sugared plum as the name suggests

but a type of small, hard-sugar candy that resembled the fruit's shape.

Figgy Pudding.  The word pudding is a generic term for dessert in Britain, where

a figgy pudding topped with a  holly sprig ends a holiday meal.  The dome

shaped, moist spice cake, loaded with dried fruit, is also called plum pudding

and was most popular in the 15th to 19th centuries.

Wassail.  The song "Here We Come A-Wassailing" refers to the tradition of

caroling as well as the mulled drink that accompanied the singers.  Similar to

spiced cider, numerous recipes for wassail have been quenching winter thirsts

as far back as the middle ages.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.........

Have you checked your tire tread recently?

..........Tire Tread is HUGE!  It's time to check out your tires!

Personally I rely on Jiffy Lube way too much! I just figure

they will tell me when I need new tires, perhaps it's

time for a little personal responsibility on my part.

Understanding tire tread is an important factor in your

vehicle's health and performance.  Not to mention

accident potentials especially on slick or snow covered roads.

So, be alert!  Don't put it off.  

Have your tires checked or check them yourself!

It's Monday........and your car won't start!

oooh, it's a bit on the chilly side this morning!  Your car is feeling it too.........

don't get caught with a car that won't start in the cold weather.

Plug it in, plug it in!  Get yourself an electric block heater for your engine

 that you plug in over night. Keeps the oil warm and the battery charged,

 so your car starts in the morning!

You can also plug in a pair of electric gloves or socks,

right into a USB port on your computer or using 

the USB connector in your car.

Wild stuff!

Should you need an early morning jump start
