Aside from the obvious jumper cables, first aid kit, washer fluid, snow brush and ice scraper, there are a few more essentials that every motorist should have in their car during winter.
Here are Jack and Jill’s top 5 winter accessories from Amazon:
1. Windshield Snow Cover
Not only does this cover keep the snow off your windshield, it also saves you from scraping the frost and ice. This accessory will ultimately save you time in the morning for an easier and faster getaway!
2. De-Icer
So your windshield is winter-proofed but your door is iced shut…now what?
A can of de-icer can go a long way. Without damaging your cars’ paint, a quick spray will have the frost and ice instantly melted, giving your arms a well deserved break from scraping.
Now that you’ve made your way into your car, there’s a few more accessories to keep you warm and safe.
3. Regular or Electrical Blanket
Electrical or not, a blanket is a great piece to have on hand for any drive.
4. Unscented Candle
There’s nothing worse than your car suddenly shutting down on the side of the road while it’s below zero. Lighting a large unscented candle will warm up your vehicles’ cabin area long enough to keep you comfortable until help arrives.
You’re stuck, now what?
5. Cat Litter
Not an obvious winter accessory but when you’re stuck in snow or on ice, sprinkle some under your tires. Cat litter will help you gain traction so you can get back on the road.
Consider using these accessories to keep yourself prepared and safe this winter!
