• Extra blankets
• Large candles that fit in your cup holders (light and heat)
• Matches or a lighter for the candle
• Road flares
• Extra gloves and hat in case the ones you have get wet
• An extra bottle of low temperature windshield solvent
• Good ice scraper and snow brush
• Hand and foot warming pads
