I'll have to get sand or cat litter, but I have everything else. It would be awful to get stranded in the car in the snow! Excellent article!

I didn't include one because this article was specifically for winter driving--but a good point. @Cindy: The good thing about living here is that after a snowfall, the sun comes out and stays out. In most cases, the main highways are clear within 24 hours...the side streets? Well, they take a bit longer. And yes, it is a lot of work but in the long run, I love the seasons and life during and just after a good snow fall. @Birney: Thanks for commenting and mentioning the First Aid Kit.

The safety kit for the trunk is so important. We have a first aid kit, but I haven't put together a kit in case we were stuck somewhere. The information is valuable whenever we're traveling. Thank you for the reminder. I definitely like to avoid snowy states. The few times driving in it convinced me that as beautiful as Snow is on it's first falling, it's a lot of work! Greta article.

I carry a military style entrenching tool as a shovel, and have used it to bring home wild ditch rose bushes. Our trunk first aid kit was used to patch up our dogs more often than people but certainly is needed in an emergency. Every summer, when we lived in Michigan, we went to the beach and filled a few one gallon plastic milk bottles with dry sand for winter use. Any excuse to go to the beach is a good one.
