When the thermometer dips below 32F and your boss breaks out the Bill Cosby sweaters, it’s also time to remind yourself how to drive in those super sketchy conditions: snow, freezing rain, black ice, and worst of all, getting stuck behind that snow plow with the Yosemite Sam mudflaps going 5 mph on a one-lane road.

Many of the safety tips we could offer are of the common sense variety – warm your car up in the morning, allow yourself extra time to get to work, check on your fluids and wipers…and so on. Blah blah blah. But we don’t want to insult you. Because we’re sure you’re not the one driving to work with three feet of snow atop your mini-van’s roof, blinding everyone in your path… That’s not you, right?

Luckily, the folks at AAA have some cool, under-the-radar advice to make sure you get to work on time and in one piece. For example, did you know the best way to defog your windows is with your air conditioner? We didn’t either. Read more helpful tips here. (They’ll ask for your ZIP code, but don’t worry, if you type it in no one will stop by your house to sell anything.)

And if you’re still looking for a job to help out with all those holiday bills, we’ve still got plenty of seasonal jobs available.
