Make sure you have window ice scrapers and de-icers for the locks.
When you're stuck, having a small shovel is useful to dig out of the
snow. The weight of a bag of sand in the trunk will give added
traction in rear-wheel drive vehicles and can be used to sprinkle on
the snow and ice to gain better traction. And don't forget personal
protection such as a warm coat, hat, gloves and a blanket, in case
you get stuck in a storm.

• Tap the ice on the window to crack it or chip it for a good place
to start scraping. You could end up cracking more than the ice

crack your windshield

Start the engine occasionally, here are a few pointers to keep in
mind:
• Run it in a well-ventilated area. Carbon monoxide can build up
quickly
• Run for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the engine to come
up to the normal operating temperature. This will allow the oil to
circulate and will also open up the thermostat so that your
radiator anti-freeze circulates as well
• Start up the air-conditioner and/or heater and run both for 10
minutes or so. Again, circulating fluids is essential for good life of
the system
