Is your car or truck ready for the snow? Going out on the road during a blizzard can become dangerous quickly. This video goes though the items I keep in my car so I am prepared for a blizzard. This includes, food, water, warm clothes, and a fully charged cell phone.

Overprepared
Make sure you are on winter tires.
I would like to add : Always carry snow chains with you in case your car stucks or slips somewhere
I don't care if you have a 4wd Hummer FORESHADOW
I keep all of that in my car, plus a tire pump, tire gauge, extra winter washer fluid, hand warmers and a few other goodies 😊
Alaskan gal here, all good information, but experience has taught me , I drive a 2000 Tundra 4×4 . Can of Crisco: non aerosol ( important they can be
A hazard in a car) run on door seals and dab a bit over the door lock to keep from freezing.also one could stick a wick in the Can and make a candle.
Old bath towels, even with studded tires , running over fresh snow when parked especially are of no use, I’ve stuck towels under the wheels and it has given me enough traction to get out.
I keep a plastic snow shovel , slather in in Crisco. No sticking snow.
And finally, I have a twenty year unopened jar of TANG,( you know, the orange drink? Do they even still make the stuff?), anyway , if you happen to slide off the road , many times no one even knows . If your driving remote.. yikes!
The universal symbol for help is an orange triangle. Find a clearing, shake the “Tang” into the snow in that shape( big enough they can see from a plane)!
Also, it has electrolytes and sugar, make a slushy with it.
Oh geez, there’s so much to extreme winter conditions,
So much is common sense and being prepared for anything.
What about making sure you have antifreeze
make sure the carpet/carpet trays do not hold water… els this water will evaporate during driving (with the heat and AC on) … then when parking in the winter the air moisture will result in frost on the inside on of front window… such frost is hard to remove of the inside on a curved window and it will take a long time for the engine to heat up for the wind-screen ventilation to remove the frost. NB… the heating in the ventilation realy first start once the car is driving.
Good advice
I once saw on a single day, the aftermath of 6 single vehicle spinouts, 5 of which were SUVs.
Pretty good tutorial, I live in Florida,so we just wash the frost off with a hose.
I also like to keep a couple packs of hand warmers, an extra beanie, an extra neck gaiter or scarf or balaclava, a warm blanket or sleeping bag, tire chains, tire inflator, and a 2 way radio.
