Winter Weather Safety

Living in Nebraska means driving conditions this time of year can be nothing short of interesting.

Many of us across the state have no choice but to drive to work in spite of the weather conditions outside. We anxiously watch the forecast the day before and plan out the route and time to leave for the next day.

If you haven't already prepared for winter conditions, it's time to do it now. Here are things to have in your car:

1. Snow shovel, broom, and ice scraper
2. Sand or kitty litter
3. Extra clothing, boots, and blankets
4. Cell phone and charger
5. Water and food
6. First aid kit
7. A full tank of gas most times in the winter
