I woke up this morning the weather app on my phone said -17 degrees!! I could sense my car cowering in the garage silently pleading for me not to go anywhere! Couldn’t hardly blame her.

Every winter I vow to be better prepared for all the unique challenges that winter driving presents, but never really have gotten my act together. This year I vow to do things differently! To that end I am making my list of handy tips and tricks and checking it twice! You can take a peek at it too!
Here are some of the most unexpected and helpful winter car care tips I have found to help survive winter driving: ;-)
Keep keep a couple twenty pound bags of kitty litter in your trunk on snowy days. They’ll put some weight on your back tires — which is great for traction if you have rear-wheel drive — and if you do get stuck you’ll have something to provide a little traction. Just spread some under the tires and under your feet. A small shovel is helpful as well.
Another great trick for getting your car out of a snowbank? Your floor mats. Take out a floor mat and use that under the spinning tire. Place your front floor mats under your tires to give you some traction when on an icy surface. Just don’t forget to pick them back up after you get moving.
