There is an easy way to get the device’s power information, there is a link to the device information at the bottom of this note.

As the seasons change, your need for energy should change as well. That is what you should expect however in practice your energy usage only goes one way….UP!! The simple and precise way to anticipate your energy usage is by taking an inventory of all the devices in your household or office that use electricity.

Record the amount of time the device is on (here is a hint, any device with an outside transformer, count as always on - 24/7). Kilowhatt an iPhone App by CVL Wireless show you more electricity saving tips so you can reduce energy usage and plan your electrical expenses.

Time to start thinking about getting those snow tires off and your summer tires on. A couple of things to remember, if they are the same tires you used last fall, make sure the tires are mounted on the same side as last year. Radial tires are not made the same as bias-belted tires. Dont assume that the tires wont require rebalancing! Why? Because the weights used to balance the tires may have been removed or fallen off. Oh your gas mileage will get better as soon as your summer tires are on! One more thing, keep a snow brush in your car until the end of april, make sure your windows and roof of the car is clear of snow from one of the snowstorms that usually hit us once or twice in the early spring!!

Let me be perfectly clear, the drivers who don’t clear their snow are typical middle-age mini-van drivers, who only care about themselves on the road. Saw many cars verve into other lanes due to the selfish drivers who didn’t clear their snow. So be nice, clear your snow and ice!! Having pictures of your car in CollisionCare prior to any incident will help you if you have to make a claim because of someone else’s laziness. Please drive safely!!

A major contributor to fender-benders & minor accidents are the giant shallow pools of water forming on top of hard packed ice. We all agree that it is so tempting to splash through these giant puddles.
These puddles cover over many dangers to your car and your ability to control your vehicle. The major issues that lie hidden are pot-holes and broken ice pack, typically with sharp edged ice. If your vehicle comes into high speed contact with one of the hidden dangers, you will loose control and possibly damage your vehicle.
So drive slow when going through these water puddles or better yet, avoid them, will save you money in the long run.

It seems that these drivers are depending on their brakes to magically adhere to the ice and snow that is usually there. News Flash!! You won’t stop in time if you are braking on ice!!!

The big issues are driving to the conditions to the road and the lack of visibility to see on coming traffic. Manage these issues by driving in control and make sure that there is a clear lane available when joining traffic.

This tip discusses what you can’t see or fully evaluate as a threat to your safety. In winter driving conditions a dangerous situation exists and most drivers cannot understand it’s danger.

As an example, we are discussing a 4 lane boulevard after a recent snow storm. The first step in snow removal is to plow the fallen snow to the side of the road. When snow is piled on the side of the street, depending on the amount of fallen snow, the piles of snow can take about 3 to 5 feet of horizontal space in that inside lane. Whether or not that lane is used for parking spaces or for additional traffic capacity, it is critical that drivers using the “clear of snow ” lane know that the inside lane is 30% smaller than before.

Which means that traffic or parked cars are up to 5 feet closer to you than when that inside lane is completely clear. This means you need to expect parked car doors’ suddenly opening into your lane and know that traffic in that lane is much closer to you than usual. If you need to avoid cars in that “snow pile” lane, anticipate an avoidance move that will compensate for that vehicle being 5 feet closer to you than expected.

In summary that snow piled in the inside lane is not seen by you but one must understand the threat the unseen snow pile brings to your driving safety.
