Yes, winter is full of challenges and hurtles.  Part of the challenges that arise as winter sets in is the cold.  The cold is something that people fail to consider or thing about before hand.  Now is the time that you should be getting winter kits for your car including blankets so that if you should break down, you will have at least some warmth until help arrives.  This includes having food that you can eat (like candy bars) and a thermos with liquid.  Unless you are going to put hot coffee in it every day, then any liquid will do.

Also, now is the time to locate your local urgent cares.  While this may sound silly, consider that if you break down or get injured an urgent care is a good place to go if a blizzard is coming.  They can open their doors and keep them open so that you can get to a safe place, even if you can’t get home or to a hospital.  Urgent cares are far more frequent in location than are hospitals.  But like hospitals, if you have an urgent care and don’t know where it’s at, it doesn’t matter if there’s one or not.  So now is the time for you to locate those along the roads that you most travel!
