Winter Emergency Car Kit

Spring has sprung
Autumn has fell
It’s winter now
And it’s colder than….

Minus 3 is what our thermometer said this morning, which reminds me that we’re past due to put together an emergency car kit. About 4 years past due, since the last time we did it we had no kids.

Road and Travel has a good, brief list, via AAA:

* flashlight
* flares or reflective triangle
* distress sign
* telephone change
* first aid supplies
* basic tools
* a fully charged cell phone

Other recommended items are:

* boots
* hat
* coat
* gloves
* jumper cables
* carpet strips, sand or kitty litter for traction
* ice scraper and brush
* blanket
* chocolate candy (my favorite part)

Might I suggest a bag of Dark Chocolate M & Ms?
