HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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.

Unfortunately, the holiday’s end does not mean the end of snow.

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.


  • Shovel
  • Windshield scraper
  • Flashlight with extra batteries
  • Battery powered radio
  • Water
  • Snack food including energy bars, trail mix, etc.
  • Matches and small candles
  • Extra hats, socks and mittens
  • First aid kit
  • Pocket knife
  • Necessary medications
  • Blankets and/or sleeping bag
  • Tow Chain or rope
  • Road salt, sand, or cat litter for traction
  • Booster cables
  • Emergency flares and reflectors
  • Fluorescent distress flag and whistle
  • Cell phone adapter to plug into lighter


On top of a Winter Survival Kit, Roadside Assistance is an affordable, additional auto insurance coverage that can provide that extra peace of mind when unexpected circumstances arise.  Give us a call here at ALINK Insurance Services today for more information.
