WINTERIZING
As winter approaches, it's
a good time to start thinking abou getting your vehicle(s) ready for the cold,
ice and snow that are impending. Check the fluid levels of your antifreeze,
transmission, brakes, windshield wiper solution and of course, your oil. Make
sure your lights, windshield wipers, heater/defroster, brakes, and tires are all
working well and don't show signs of wear. Make sure your car gets a tune up so
that the oil and air filters are change and that the fuel filters are checked
for clogs or leaks.
Also, get together a winter emergency kit
for your trunk. You will want things like:
| Your
cell phone. |
| A
shovel - in case you need to remove snow from around your tires. |
| Spare
tire and tools to change a flat tire. |
| Sand
or cat litter to use for traction under your tires. |
| Flashlight
and extra batteries. |
| Lighter
or waterproof matches. |
| Blankets
and/or sleeping bags. |
| Empty
coffee can and votive candles - in case you need to melt snow for water. |
| Extra
hat, mittens and socks. |
| Jumper
cables. |
| First
Aid Kit |
| Non-perishable
food - especially high-energy foods like protein bars or trail mix. |
Ice
scraper and a tow chain. |
