Discover Winter • Wednesday, November 21, 2012 To ensure your vehicle is ready for the winter months ahead, Enumclaw Chrylser Jeep Dodge Ram recommends that you follow these helpful car care tips. Be sure to check these items to ensure the safety and overall enjoyment of your vehicle!

CHOOSING A

CAR FOR WINTER

DRIVING!

Many people who own beautiful cars, performance automobiles, or even highend light trucks would prefer to use a less expensive vehicle during the cold season. That way, they can avoid damaging their prize possessions in ice-caused accidents or subjecting them to salted roads. For these people, now is the time to go looking for a used vehicle that will be their daily drive in winter.

• Inspect the Hoses and Belts

BUY 3 WINTER TIRES

• Check Brakes and Tires for Wear

• Check Anti-Freeze Fluid Levels

GET THE 4th FOR $1

Stop in to Enumclaw Chrysler Jeep Dodge and ask about our winter tire program. We have top brands like Bridgestone Blizzak, General Artic Altimax, and Firestone Winter Force. Ask about our FREE tire storage to keep your all-season tires. When winter is over stop by and let us put on your all-season tires at NO CHARGE. Enumclaw Chrysler Jeep Dodge 726 Roosevelt Ave.

The best formula would be to choose a used all-wheel drive and have it equipped with some of the best winter tires money can buy. Obviously, that means a little bit more money, but unless the buyer chooses to keep the vehicle for a few years, it can bring back a sufficient amount of money if it is sold back in spring.

A recent model used car is probably a better choice than a “winter beater” for the cold season

Enumclaw Chrysler Jeep Dodge

• Test the Battery

Sometimes people use a “winter beater”, which is a heavily used car or light truck that they won’t bother investing maintenance money into. This might not be the ideal solution for the average driver who still wants some reliability in the winter. After all, beaters can be safety hazards too. The best solution for most people is a slightly used car that is reliable, safe, and can do the job of managing winter roads.

Alternately, a reasonably priced frontwheel-drive mid-sized sedan can be bought at an even better price and still return a good amount of money when sold later in the year. Is a front-wheel drive as good as an all-wheel drive in winter? It all depends on the way the car is driven. But as in all cases, great winter tires will sure help!

Plenty to do all winter at Mount Rainier November’s storms mark the transition from snow-free to winter conditions at Mount Rainier, one of the snowiest places on the planet. The park transitioned to winter hours of operation and services in early November. The gate at Longmire is closed nightly through March to keep visitors and plow operators safe during road opening. New this winter and starting November 27, the road between Longmire and Paradise will be closed to public travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Longmire and the park will remain open seven days a week, barring

major storm events. “We are strategically deploying available park staff and resources to provide access to Paradise Thursday through Monday, the five days of the week with greatest visitation”, King said. Visitation statistics show that Tuesday and Wednesday are, on average, the park’s least visited days, with fewer than 60 visitor vehicles coming through the Nisqually Entrance on a typical day. By focusing staff on fewer days, the park will be better able to provide access and services during times of greatest visitation, including more consistent road plowing

and emergency patrols for visitor safety. The area above Longmire will be closed to overnight camping on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because safe road access won’t be available. On Thursdays through Mondays, and every day during the Christmas holiday, the road from Longmire to Paradise will open as soon as the park’s snow plows can make it safe for travel. In good weather the road may open as early as 7:00 AM, but in bad weather (or following a heavy snowfall) the road opening may be delayed until late morning or, in some cases, may not open at all. All vehicles are required to carry tire chains when entering the park. Road conditions can deteriorate quickly during the day and mandatory chain use may be required even for 4WD vehicles. To better accommodate visitor needs and reduce energy costs, the visitor information center at Longmire will move across the road from the Longmire Museum to the historic Administration Building, in the space occupied by the Wilderness Information Center during the summer. Park rangers will be available seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM to provide information on hikes, locations of interest, and interpretive map talks for winter visitors to the Longmire Historic District. Watch for more information on hikes and other exciting programs that will be offered at Longmire on Tuesdays and Wednesdays! Located at Longmire, the historic National Park Inn is open year round,

providing dining, lodging and a gift shop. For reservations call 360-569-2275. Businesses in the gateway communities are also open throughout the winter. The Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise will be open on weekends and holidays through March. The Paradise snowplay/sledding area will open during the Christmas holiday provided snow depth is adequate. Highways 123 and 410, and the Stevens Canyon Road east of Paradise, and the White River, Sunrise and Mowich Lake Roads are now closed to vehicle access for the winter, but remain open to winter recreation. There’s always plenty to do in and around Mount Rainier, any day of the week! Visitors are encouraged to obtain up-to-the-minute updates on road conditions and restrictions by calling the park at 360-569-2211 and listening to the recorded information. You can also connect to Mount Rainier National Park through our social media pages. Join the Mount Rainier community on Facebook, find out breaking news and road status updates through Mount Rainier’s Twitter feed, explore the park and behind-thescenes operations with our videos on YouTube, and share your own photos of Mount Rainier with other visitors in the Mount Rainier Flickr group.” Backcountry travelers should get an update on current and projected snow, avalanche and weather conditions before coming to the park, and be prepared to survive winter conditions.

ENUMCLAW’S 2012 LIGHTED

CHRISTMAS PARADE

GOT HEAT?

Saturday, December 1st at 6:00 pm Downtown Enumclaw, Cole Street

Well you probably do, but here are some ways to make sure you keep it and put some money in your wallet with the savings you’ll earn! Hawaii anyone?

Each year Cole Street comes alive with holiday spirit with floats, cars and Christmas cheer for the annual Christmas Parade and holiday celebration.

Be a draft dodger! Seal and caulk around doors and windows, skylights also if you have them. Install storm doors and windows if you haven’t done so already.

Is this how your dog greets you when you get home?

Get your ducts in a row. Check your duct work for any gaps, creases or disconnects. If you do find a place that needs repair, use metal duct tape. Also check along the registers for any gaps. If there are any, you can spray foam insulation to seal the gaps. Insulating the ducts will also improve efficiency.

You can avoid the chilly reception by getting your heating system tuned-up.

It’s not too late

Fire in the Hole. If you burn wood during the winter, consider getting glass doors with vents on the bottom installed on your fireplace. This will prevent the warm air from being sucked up the chimney and you’ll still get to enjoy the flames.

You can avoid the chilly reception by getting your heating system tuned-up.

Schedule a tune-up or repair online and get automatically entered to Win a 3 year T.O.P. Service Membership and $50 worth of coffee or tea at your favorite coffee stand!

Fan(cy) that! By running your ceiling fans in reverse, you’ll circulate the warm air back down to your level. The fan should be turning clockwise when you look up at it. Tuneup Time. Having your heating system cleaned and professionally tuned will keep your system running smoothly and more efficiently. Remember to change your filters or wash them frequently (at least once a month) throughout the winter. Upgrading to a more efficient furnace can also put money in your pocket in the long run and improve your home’s value.

Go Shopping! That’s right, ladies! Wearing a warm sweater, vest or fleece will help keep you warmer and allow you to keep that thermostat at a lower temperature by at least four degrees. A programmable thermostat is ideal, as you can set it lower at night and when you’re away during the day. Program it to come back on about half an hour before you get home or wake up in the morning and your room will be nice and cozy. Don’t Shower Outside! By disconnecting your hoses from the outdoor faucets, you’ll keep the faucets from freezing and spraying you in the Spring when you turn them back on. Hoses, sprinklers and irrigation systems should be drained and turned off for the winter. Also, drain any hoses and pipes on your air conditioning unit.
