Include

ice scraper, a small brush or broom, a supply of windshield

washer

fluid,

rag, some winter outer clothing,

small

shovel, a flashlight,

a red cloth, and a couple of reflective warning triangles. And, if you will be

driving under severe conditions, include a small bag of sand, a piece of old

carpet or

couple of burlap bags

help provide traction. Be sure you

properly secure these items in your vehicle.

Driving

Snow

Ice

Most

of the time, those places where your tires meet the road probably have

good

traction.

However, if there is snow or ice between your tires and the road, you can

have a very slippery situation. You’ll have a lot less traction or “grip” and

will need to be

very

careful.

What’s the worst time for this? “Wet ice.” Very cold snow or ice can be

slick and hard to drive

on.

But wet ice can be even more trouble because it

may offer the least traction of all. You can get “wet ice” when it’s about

freezing

(32°F;

0°C)

and freezing rain begins to fall. Try to avoid driving

on wet

ice

until salt and sand crews can get there.

Whatever the condition

smooth ice, packed, blowing

loose snow

drive with caution.

Accelerate gently. Try not to break the fragile traction. If you accelerate too

fast, the drive wheels will spin and polish the surface under the tires even

more.
