November 13th brought snow and sleet to Memphis – and that weather has been named the reason for about dozens of car crashes, some of which proved fatal. This storm may have been a fluke, but if the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that weather can change in the blink of an eye. Being prepared for storms can help keep you and your family members safe this winter. What do I do if [...]
