Avoid many cold-weather car woes with preventive maintenance. The Meineke Car Car Center on Manheim Pike in Lancaster can help you with that!

If forecasters were right, you woke up this morning to snow and below freezing temperatures. Time to throw a blanket, a cat and a dog on top of you for extra warmth and turn over to go back to sleep. By the time you wake up later today, some of the worst of it could be gone.

"A winter storm hit the Midstate Thursday morning, bringing snow, sleet, and freezing rain," according to abc27.com. "Around noon, conditions seemed to be improving, with icy precipitation shifting to rain for many areas."

That's the good news. The bad news is that the bad weather is expected to return.  Weather today is expected to be a mix of freezing rain and rain that continue into tomorrow.

The yucky weather is all part of the massive winter storm that weather people say will affect most of the continental U.S. in one form or another. The possible impact of the icy conditions has AAA warning car owners to beware.

"During the colder winter months, it is wise to do preventative maintenance," AAA says. "If you’re planning to drive during the cold months, it’s wise to perform regular maintenance checks so your vehicle can run as optimally as possible."

AAA offers these tips to help you get your car or truck through the winter:

  • “Test the battery.
  • “Check the tire pressure.
  • “Examine the antifreeze level.
  • “Apply water repellent to your windshield.
  • “Clean your headlights.
  • “Prepare an emergency kit.
  • Have a professional check your brakes.”
