LAST WINTER [2013-2014] SHOWED AMERICANS THAT SEVERE, WINTRY WEATHER CAN ARRIVE EARLY, END LATER, AND HIT UNSUSPECTING AREAS OF THE COUNTRY. THAT MEANS HEAVY SNOW, DANGEROUS ICE, AND ROUGH DRIVING-CONDITIONS THAT CAN SPELL DANGER FOR THE UNPREPARED MOTORIST. ACCORDING TO "STATE FARM", SEVERE WEATHER CAN MEAN UNFORESEEN TIME STUCK IN A CAR, ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAT'S WHY IT ENCOURAGES ALL DRIVERS TO BE PREPARED FOR EMERGENCIES--INCLUDING BY MAKING SURE THAT THEIR SPARE-TIRE IS READY FOR THE ROAD. IT'S ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO KEEP EXTRA BLANKETS OR HEAVY CLOTHES IN A VEHICLE, FOR WARMTH. OTHER GOOD EMERGENCY-ITEMS INCLUDE: A FIRST-AID KIT, JUMPER-CABLES, BOTTLED WATER, NON-PERISHABLE FOOD, A FLASHLIGHT WITH FRESH BATTERIES, AND A CELL-PHONE WITH A CHARGER.
