Organizing a Winter Car Kit

We are enjoying temperatures in the sixties and seventies while Colorado and Missouri are enduring crippling ice and snow. It won’t be long before this fickle climate puts on its winter face and treats us to a little slush. It can come quickly at any time now. If you have lived in this area long enough, you have seen holidays that felt sub-tropical and holidays with snow on the ground. So now is the time to think about supplementing your car emergency kit with a few items to see you through the winter months.

Here are a few items we suggest:

• De-icer for windshields and locks


• A small shovel


• Kitty litter to provide traction


• Water


• A warm blanket


• Insulated gloves


• Fold-up boots


• Nonperishable snacks


• Windshield scraper


• Whisk broom
  

If you do not already have a car emergency kit add:

• Battery cables


• Tire inflater


• Roadside flares


• Heavy duty flashlight

Organize the items in a waterproof bag, ice chest or plastic tote. You will feel safer on the road because you are prepared for winter car troubles.
