Indiana is expected to have it’s first deep freeze starting this weekend.

AAA Hoosier Motor Club spokesman Greg Seiter has a few word of advice as you prepare for the cold weather months. He said to have a safety kit in your car with some tools for car maintenance, but also a small snow shovel, snacks, gloves and other warm clothing and road flares.

Seiter also has another piece of advice you should probably listen to if you want to even get inside your car.

“It’s very important to remember not to wash you car immediately before a deep freeze or any kind of freezing temperatures,” Seiter said. Because that moisture can freeze within your locks and get into the door jam of your car and cause you a whole new set of problems.”

Meteorologists are predicting overnight temperatures could reach the low 20’s by early next week. Snow is in the forecast for Friday.
