 *  Carry an emergency kit in your vehicle: a blanket, extra boots and gloves, an extra set of warm clothes, water and food (including hard candies), an ice scraper, a small shovel, a flashlight, windshield washer fluid, jumper cables, a tool kit, tire gauge, a spare tire with air in it, tire-changing equipment, a first-aid kit, paper towels, and a bag of abrasive material such as sand/salt/non-clumping kitty litter (this can provide additional traction if a tire gets stuck in the snow).

*  Have plenty of fuel in your tank so that your vehicle’s gas line(s) don’t freeze.  In addition, if you end up stuck in the snow, you’ll have enough gas to keep your lights and heater on until help arrives.

*  Tires must be properly inflated to ensure the best possible traction for your vehicle.  Traction is often severely jeopardized in wet, snowy or icy conditions.  Better yet, invest in some good tires!
