       1.    Make a backpack up with cups, spoons, 6 tea bags, 2 hot
       chocolates, and if you want coffee.
       Have powdered milk and sugar also... have some hard
       candies in a container so even if it gets
       warm and they happen to melt they don't go all over.
       2.    Have a couple of bags of chips or pretzels, also a deck of
       cards, a favourite pocket book to read,
       also depending on how many children you have a toy they
       would play with or even a game of
       battleship.
       3.    For each person who rides in the car have a green garbage
       bag and two grocery bags.  These are
       to keep the heat in.  Place the grocery bags over boots
       or if the children are older put inbetween
       socks and boots.  The green bag, overtop of clothes...
       this will help keep heat in...
       4.     Next try to have a blanket for each person this is as
       easy as sitting on the blanket. Thus extra
       coverage...
       5.      have candles and matches in seperate and dry bags...
       best to have lots of matches and at least
       10 tealight candles...
       6.      I have one of those containers that plug into the
       lighter for heating up liquids...  if you are going
       on a trip that lasts more than two hours fill up an old
       pop bottle with water and put it in the
       trunk...
       7.       Have a first aid kit with any pills or medications you
       may need replace this once a week or keep
       it at the door near your keys so you never forget it!!
       8.       Have a good flashlight, two if possible and a set of
       extra batteries.
       9.       Carry a cell phone even one that you no longer use as
       long as it is charged you can make a 911
       call.
       10.      Never go out if a storm has already started, better to
       stay warm one more day than leave and
       be stranded in the middle of no where, but hopefully
       these tips will help..
       Also carry in your trunk an extra wiper blade, even one that you
       replaced as long as it works a little is
       better than nothing.  Carry a foldable shovel, carry some dirt,
       flares, chains, battery boaster cables...
       Also a can of tire inflate and belts....
