Hundreds of motorists were stranded in white-out conditions on I-95 in Virginia this week; here's how to be prepared if it happens to you.
A massive snowstorm buried the East Coast recently, stranding hundreds of motorists along the I-95 corridor in freezing temperatures after a major crash involving several tractor-trailers. Many wereor more, without food or water. If you were driving through Virginia that day, would you have been among them? If you're unsure, the answer is probably"yes."
We all need to have a car survival kit. That's a given. But your kit needs to be flexible. It needs to grow and change depending on where your vehicle will be at any given moment. And if you're traveling? You need to review it before you hit the road. Many of those stranded motorists in Virginia were families from the Northeast who had driven down to Florida for the holidays.
That's why we've put together this list of stuff you may want to consider stashing in your vehicle if you're driving in winter. Plenty of these are common-sense items, like emergency flares and. But several are winter-specific; for example, did you know that while water bottles will freeze solid, juice boxes and pouches will not?
Still others are designed to make you locatable in the event of a winter emergency. There were no fatalities on I-95 because it's a main thoroughfare, and everyone was stuck in the same place.
