Winter preparedness

[BobSch]

Authorities suggest that anyone traveling in the current icy conditions should make sure they have the following:

Shovel
Blankets or sleeping bag
Extra clothing including hat and gloves
24 hours worth of food
De-Icer
Rock Salt
Flashlight with spare batteries
Road Flares or Reflective Triangles
Empty gas Can
First Aid Kit
Booster cables

I probably looked like an idiot on the bus this morning!

[Richard in Smithville]

In the prelude to a major winter storm coming in tonight, that was excelent!

[gerti]

Empty gas can?

[LCHIEN]

Empty gas can?

yeah, the full ones are much too heavy to carry on the bus.

Good one Bob. Didn't expect the ending and got a good laugh from it.

[Bruce Cohen]

Hey Bob,

You left out the most important thing.


Move to some place warm, like Aruba!!

I HATE WINTER

Good one!

Mindful of the current weather conditions here in the NE (and elsewhere) I was expecting some serious suggestions... and the "humor" of it caught me off guard. Excellent, for we sure need it!

Thanks,

CWS


ps, I was once stuck in a drift overnight and being prepared turned it into a good adventure. Otherwise it may have been something far less. One should always be prepared for the "what if's"!

I was once stuck in Chicago for an entire winter, and nothing I had or could buy would have prepared me for that experience.
