The holidays have come to an end and it’s time to take on 2015 with a bang! I enjoyed a beautiful, snow-covered, fun and food-filled Christmas and New Year with my family here in Colorado.
As mentioned previously in this post, a Winter Survival Kit is an important thing to keep in your car. In an emergency, it could potentially mean the difference between life and death. What should a Winter Survival Kit consist of? This list, offered by the Wisconsin Emergency Management team, provides the essentials.
