Things to Keep in Your Car During Winter
When the winter season is in full swing, living in an area like Wisconsin means that the weather conditions can get pretty serious especially when the snow starts to pile up. Being prepared for potential winter weather emergencies is a great way to give yourself a little extra peace of mind this season.
If you are wondering how to best prepare for potential issues that may arise due to snow and icy weather conditions, Rosen Auto Group is here with a list of essential items to keep in your car this winter.
What Should I Keep in My Car For Winter?
A few items that you should keep in your car in case of a winter emergency include:
- Cell phone and car phone charger- This one might be obvious since most people typically have their cell phones on them at all times anyway, but keeping a car charger for your phone is key because if you’re stranded and your phone dies there isn’t much you can do.
- Blanket, gloves, hat- Running the car too much for the heat can cause you to run out of gas, so keeping a blanket and extra items to keep warm if you’re stranded is always a good idea.
- Water and snacks- If you are stuck somewhere more remote it could take a long time for roadside assistance to get to you especially if the weather is bad. Keeping nonperishable snacks like granola bars or beef jerky and some water bottles is highly recommended.
- First aid kit
- Ice scraper or snow brush
- Traction aid- Salt, sand, or even non clumping cat litter can help the tires gain traction on the ground to accelerate out of the snow or a sheet of ice.
- Jumper cables
- Flashlight- Make sure to also have extra batteries on hand.
