LPT: During this cold weather, have an emergency kit in your car.

Having an emergency kit saves lives, if you can't buy one, make one yourself.

•Blankets •Booster Cables •A small tire inflator, like this one •Signal Flares •Flashlights •Extra Batteries •Money •First aid kit •Traffic Cones •Small Shovel •Roadmaps •Tow rope (if applicable) •High-Visibility Vest •Non-Perishable foods (eg. Energy Bars)

This is the kit I use in my car, and it's gotten me through the roughest of Canadian winters.
