Be Prepared

    These are useful tips if you are traveling in blizzard conditions.  You should travel with a totally full tank of gas and be sure your heater is working properly.  If you can bring along a “winter storm service kit” containing candles and matches it will help a lot.  The candles will keep the temperature in a closed car above freezing.  A first aid kit is also very helpful to have.  Try to travel in a pickup truck or another heavy vehicle.  Use a four wheel drive vehicle to steer through the snow and very slick ice.
