The Meineke Car Care Center on Rodney Road in York will get your car ready for the snow and freezing temperatures ahead.

The official start to winter may be a bit more than a month away but winter weather has arrived in central Pennsylvania. Snow is expected to start falling later today and winter weather advisories have been issued for much of central Pennsylvania.

That's great news for kids who want to build snowmen and for those who like skiing and other winter sports. It's bad news for drivers who have to cope with hazardous conditions. It's even worse for car owners who have delayed making sure their cars are ready for winter weather.

"Vehicle mechanics agree that it’s best to winterize your car before the first flake falls, because small problems that may have been ignored during warmer months could grow worse, leaving you stranded when the temperature plummets," woodtv.com says.

Woodtv.com offers these tips to help you get your car ready for winter's blast:

  • "Take your car to a mechanic and have them check the following: battery, antifreeze level, thermostat, heater, brakes, and defroster.
  • "Make sure your tires have adequate tread. If the treads are worn, replace them. Ideally, you should look at snow tires which have treads that provide better traction and are equipped to handle extreme winter driving conditions.
  • "Inspect your vehicle’s lights. Make sure the front and rear lights are working properly, especially the flashing hazard lights.
  • "It’s possible that your windshield wiper fluid may freeze at some point during the winter months, so instead of toughing it out until spring, exchange the fluid with one made especially for freezing, or below freezing conditions.
  • Speaking of windshield wipers, it’s a good idea to purchase winter wiper blades. They’re made to cut through snow and ice instead of using the regular blades all year long.
  • "Check the spray nozzles of your windshield-washer system. Sometimes, they get blocked by build up and debris. You can use a needle or pin to clear blocked nozzles."
