<ul>
    <li>Make sure your battery, tires, coolant system, wipers and wiper fluid are winter-ready.</li>
    <li>Pack a winter kit that includes a blanket, an extra ice scraper, water, and sand or cat litter (to put under stuck tires).</li>
    <li>Clean your car&rsquo;s windows, side mirrors, headlights and backup camera (if you have one).</li>
    <li>If possible, stay home until snowy roads are cleared.</li>
    <li>Slow down! Keep more space between you and other cars.</li>
    <li>If you slide, turn into the skid. (Steer in the direction the back wheels are sliding.)</li>
    <li>If you&rsquo;re stuck in a storm, stay with your car.</li>
</ul>
