The Thanksgiving Weekend forecast includes chances for snow Friday (11.28) night into Saturday night(11.29), which could create issues for holiday travel.

Trooper Tom Williams with the Mason City District office of the Iowa State Patrol says being properly prepared for winter driving begins before you hit the road.

Williams also recommends a good battery under the hood and good supplies inside your vehicles, too.

If you find yourself off the road because of the weather, Williams encourages you to stay with your vehicle.

Williams also advises giving snow plow trucks room to operate and check road conditions before you leave at www.511ia.org, download the 511ia app or call 511.
