Hazardous driving conditions due to reduced visibilities from snow and local blowing snow are expected with a snow storm moving in the Borderland.
Paying attention and having the right type of tire can help you avoid an accident.
Mark Cox, director of the Bridgestone Winter Driving School in Colorado says too many drivers get into trouble when they're not focused on road and weather conditions.
"That's the one most common mistake we see in every type of driving, not just winter," says Cox. "It takes 4 to 10 times longer to stop on ice and snow so you have to be looking that much farther to ahead to respond accordingly"
Cox also supports making the switch to winter tires instead of using all-season tires, as long as they are in good condition.
