A winter storm survival kit is extremely helpful should you become stranded. Consider keeping it in the back seat of your vehicle (in case your trunk jams or is frozen shut). Items to consider:
- Blankets or sleeping bags
- Extra stocking caps, warm socks, gloves/mittens
Flashlight with extra batteries
First-aid kit
Booster cables and windshield brush/scraper
Drinking water and high-calorie, non-perishable food (trail mix, energy/protein bars)
Sand or cat litter for traction
Cell phone adapter/charger
