TIPS

These measures can help protect you while driving in frigid weather:


• Keep emergency supplies on hand. Have a blanket, extra gloves, some dehydrated food, flashlight and some kitty litter. Kitty litter helps with traction.


• Carry a can of instant tire in your trunk.


• Carry some sturdy booster cables in your trunk.


• Be certain you have good tread on your tires.


• Keep an ice scraper and brush in your car.


• Clean any battery corrosion from your battery cables’ terminal ends.
