Snow season has come around again this year.

That said, there has been little snowfall and the weather has been alternating between warm and cold, making it difficult to manage your health.

Although it is December and we don't see much of the white, silvery world, it does feel a bit wintery, but as someone who drives a shipping truck every day, I am grateful that there is less snow.

In winter, I make sure to prepare for the winter at the very least. I don't let my guard down just because there isn't much snow, so I change to studless tires early and carry equipment like tire chains. These are obvious things, but if a large truck gets stuck on the road, it can cause a lot of trouble for other traffic, so I make sure to prepare well for winter roads to prevent that from happening.

We will get through this winter by keeping in mind that it is important not only to drive carefully but also to be prepared.

Stay safe.
