If you live in the Pacific Northwest, then you know that winter can be a treacherous time on the roads. That’s why it’s important to make sure your car is prepared for the worst. That means having the right supplies in your car in case you get stranded. Here are some supplies you should have in your car during the winter:
-Ice scraper and snow brush
-Rock salt or sand or kitty litter to help with traction
-Shovel
-Tire chains
-Jumper cables
-First-aid kit
-Flashlight and some extra batteries.
-A blanket and a warm coat.
-Bottled water and snacks
If you’re caught in a winter storm, make sure to stay calm and use common sense. If your car is stuck in the snow, try to shovel out a path to the road and put some sand or salt on the ice. If that doesn’t work, you can try to use your car’s traction control to get out of the snow. If all else fails, as long as you have a cell phone on hand, you can call a tow truck.
