HOLIDAY PARTY FOR CUYAHOGA COUNTY YOUTH WITH JEROME FORD At Tittle & Perlmuter, we believe in giving back to our community, and this holiday season, we partnered with Jerome Ford from the Cleveland Browns and the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services to throw a Holiday Party for Cuyahoga Youth! We invited 25 kids raised by single parents or extended family to enjoy the holidays and come together in spirit.
The children at the event enjoyed various foods from local restaurants, gifts, face painting, balloon animals, and more!
We are so honored to work with Jerome and the Cuyahoga County Department of Children and Family Services to provide these children with a fun reprieve during the holiday season. We hope it was one to remember for everyone involved!
While the wintertime in Cleveland can be beautiful, with puffy white snow dusting the trees and snowmen in people’s front yards, it can also be extremely dangerous. According to the American Automobile Association’s Foundation for Traffic Safety, snowy conditions “account for nearly 500,000 vehicle crashes and more than 2,000 road deaths each year.” A good rule of thumb is to stay home if the weather is bad. However, this isn’t possible for many people due to work, medical appointments or prescription pick-ups, and getting the kids to school. So, to help you and your family stay safe, here are four tips for driving safely in the snow. CLEAN OFF SNOW AND ICE. When ice builds up on your roof or hood, it can become dislodged while driving and damage your car or someone else’s. Even worse, the ice that flies off your vehicle could injure someone. And while Ohio doesn’t have a law about removing snow or ice from your car before you drive, it is illegal to drive a vehicle with windows you cannot see through, covered headlights or tail lights, and unclear license plates. DRIVING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND IS DANGEROUS! 4 Tips to Stay Safe on the Roads
SLOW DOWN. To stay safe in winter conditions, the best thing to do is drive slowly. Poor traction on roads, bridges, and overpasses can cause vehicles to spin out of control, causing accidents and injury. You want to drive slowly so it is easier to maintain control of your car if you run into a slippery road. If you’re driving and your traction control system (TCS) activates, do not slam on your brakes. Stay calm, let off the gas, and keep your eyes focused on where you want your car to go. AVOID CRUISE CONTROL. While this feature is convenient, save it for warmer temperatures. If you come across snow, ice, slush, or even black ice while using cruise control, the vehicle could lose control because its system cannot react quickly enough when there is low traction.
KEEP YOUR LIGHTS CLEAR. In freezing temperatures, your entire car may become covered in sheets of snow and ice, including your headlights and tail lights.
Before you drive, use a microfiber towel, paper towel, or newspaper to scrub your lights after scraping off any hard ice or snow. You want to ensure you can see
as far ahead as possible — and other drivers can see you too.
