• Winterize your vehicle by checking your antifreeze, brakes, tire pressure and windshield wipers.
• Be sure your gas tank is at least half full.
• Stock your emergency roadside kit with jumper cables, flairs, etc.
• Make sure you have a phone charger in your car.
• Toss a blanket or two in your car as well.
