Winter Weather is Coming - Be Prepared

Winter Weather is Coming - Be Prepared

Winter Weather is Coming - Be Prepared
by Sheri Woodward 

Winter - besides being cold, winter driving can create driving challenges or strand a driver while roads are cleared.

What to have in your car

In addition to the just-in-case items you should always have in your vehicle, such as jumper cables, tire-changing tools, flashlight and a first-aid kit, be sure to carry these winter essentials:
  • Blankets
  • Cell and charger
  • Extra clothing (wool socks, gloves, hats)
  • Road salt or cat litter to help with traction
  • Ice scraper and brush
  • Brightly colored flag or cloth to tie to your antenna
If you do become stranded:
  • Remain in your vehicle so help can find you.
  • Run your vehicle's engine and heater about 10 minutes each hour to keep warm. Open a downwind window slightly for ventilation and clear snow from the exhaust pipe to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Exercise a little to maintain body heat, but avoid overexertion and sweating.
  • Drink fluids to avoid dehydration.
