Getting stuck in a car during a winter storm can be very dangerous. You can "winterize" your car by making sure it has the following:
- Strong battery
- Plenty of antifreeze
- no-freeze wiper fluid
- good blades
- working heater
- no leaks or crimps in exhaust pipe
- snow tires and/or tire chains
- at least half a tank of gas
- a winter-weight oil (see car owner's manual)
Keep the following items in your car in winter months:
- Jumper cables
- Windshield scraper
- Flashlight
- First Aid kit
- Small shovel
- Some sand to put under tires for traction
- Bright cloth to use as a distress flag.
