Lows drop to freezing on about 109 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over. Warwick averages 37 inches of snow, and road salt eats brake lines, exhaust and the underside of the car. Rinse the underbody through the winter and have the brake lines looked at whenever the car is up on a lift.

About 48 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.

The average commute in Warwick is 25 minutes each way, and 77% of workers drive there alone.
