Helpful Hints- Snow Tips For Drivers

Tweet

For those suffering through some winter weather right now I feel your pain. We in New Jersey (U.S.) are going through blizzard conditions with possibly a foot of snow expected. If you are in my situation you eventually have to venture out to clean the snow off your car. So why not make things a bit easier on yourself. These snow tips I found on U Tube and NJ 101.5 radio should prove beneficial when we all prepare for future storms. 1. Whether you have a cat or not buy kitty litter. It is great traction for your tires when getting stuck in snow/ice. If your on the roadway and without the litter you can also use the cars floor mats as traction for the tires. 2. Do you have any old or mismatched socks in your house? Put them to use by putting them on your wiper blades before a storm. The ice and snow will not stick to them making for an easier cleanup. 3. Make yourself a special spray bottle. Use 3 parts vinnegar vs 1 part water and your set. Pre-treat your windows with the spray to prevent ice from forming. 4. Zip lock bags, say what? Try these bags over your side view mirrors whala...no sticky ice! 5. Stuck on the road with no ice scrapper. Seems a credit card is a viable substitute. And the good thing, using your card for that purpose is free! Or, perhaps you misplaced your ice scrapper with the change of seasons. No problem, just use a plastic spatula from the kitchen. It's not only a cooking aid it's a utensil that will work in a pinch. Hope some of these tips were helpful. I've already tried a few of them for today's East Coast storm. We'll see how they work out.
