If you have never driven on snow/ice please don’t. Stay home unless you absolutely have no other choice. The most dangerous thing is plow drivers face is other drivers that are unaware of how dangerous conditions are, and if you do need to get out go slow, give us a space to work, and don’t panic in and emergency. If you begin to slide, don’t slam on the brakes, put the car in neutral, and softly tap the brake so you can somewhat control the car until you come to a complete stop. Keep blankets in the car, and don’t let your fuel tank get below 3/4 of a tank. —

Strongly consider equipping your vehicle with both CB and GMRS radios– get a HAM license too. Have what you need to charge you devices like your phone so you can stay in touch with others AND ALWAYS let family/friends KNOW where you are AND your travel plans so you can be found. Family should have your vehicle info written down at home so the police know what to look for if you are overdue.

Never leave canned pop in the vehicle….
