We pulled off the road, and waited for it to clear, I was afraid we might get hit by another car. I carry ice scraper, blanket a jar of ice melt and bag of kitty litter in the back seat, Always have a bottle of water, fiber bars in the car, Glad you are safe and sound. Make a little kit. Sometimes you can throw a blanket under the back wheels to get out. yvonneLa Petite Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553902574516930172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-54393626737329270682012-02-08T13:11:46.410+00:002012-02-08T13:11:46.410+00:00How terrifying!

Mostly the 5 inches of snow take longer to accumulate. We have hardly had any snow this winter and are very thankful for our unusually mild winter. Lots of times we keep boots or heavy clothing in our cars.
