GREENSBORO, N.C. — It's getting colder here in the Triad, there's no denying it.
Even if our area still won't be getting snow, it's good to have a plan in your mind for when the roads get icy or if you plan to travel to a colder area.
The CDC provided a list of things to keep in your car in case you need to travel in cold and icy conditions this winter:
- Cell phone, portable charger, and extra batteries
- Items to stay warm such as extra hats, coats, mittens, and blankets
- Windshield scraper
- Shovel
- Battery-powered radio with extra batteries
- Flashlight with extra batteries
- Water and snack food
- First aid kit with any necessary medications and a pocket knife
- Tow chains or rope
- Tire chains
- Canned compressed air with sealant for emergency tire repair
- Cat litter or sand to help tires get traction, or road salt to melt ice
- Booster cables with fully charged battery or jumper cables
- Hazard or other reflectors
- Bright colored flag or help signs, emergency distress flag, and/or emergency flares
- Road maps
- Waterproof matches and a can to melt snow for water
