Preparing for the winter season is something that most New Yorkers do.

My heart and prayers goes out to the southern states that are experiencing such bad winter season as they are not use to it and are definitely not prepared.

Your tips in this article are right on point.

cars because of winter storm Leon. I think your tips should have been required reading LAST week before the storm. I know many people that would have paid handsomely for a bag of kitty litter to get them off the ice!

This happened to me first hand while riding the Amtrak bus from Bakersfield, over the Grapevine and going on towards Southern California. The drivers originally stopped going through the grapevine once they noticed blizzard like conditions (they had no snow chains) and then they turned back to Bakersfield, and claimed we’d stay there overnight. That sounded perfectly fine to me, but instead they changed their mind and decided to go through the Tehachapi mountain region instead. That was just as bad, and they wouldn’t turn back this time, the bus kept sliding and there were many people caught in the conditions, where you could barely see the cars ahead of you. It was just awful. Another instance was when a friend of mine was going with others to Vegas and got caught in the snow without the snow chains and didn’t want to turn back. They got stuck in the snow for a while before someone helped them get out of it, and kept on going through the snow towards Vegas. I told her to possibly turn back if she could and she didn’t want to. Sometimes stubbornness can be very risky. Thanks for the tips!
