As Carmel residents wrestle with the deep chill that's descended upon their town, the Carmel Police Department has offered a mix of practical advice and community camaraderie on social media. In a recent post on their Facebook page, the police department put into words the sentiment many feel with dropping temperatures—it's officially "why did I move here?" cold.
The post outlined that due to the cold snap, cars would inevitably take longer to warm up, a reminder that requires planning ahead to avoid the sting of winter's touch when venturing out into the frostbitten air. The department did not miss the opportunity to stress the importance of a car emergency kit, emphasizing its potential to make a significant difference in the event of a winter roadside emergency; however, the advisory also came with a caution about the peril of leaving vehicles running and unlocked.
Carmel Police Department's post didn't just serve as a valuable public service announcement, but also as a gentle nod to the shared experience of enduring winter's bite. "Stay warm, Carmel. #CarmelPD❄️🚓" the post concluded, putting a communal cap on the message.
