MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - Icy roads and hazardous road conditions are right around the corner. In order to stay as safe as possible in potential dangerous situations, it is important to keep an emergency car kit in your car.

Emergency car kits can be found for as little as $15 at your local superstore, and they contain helpful tools such as jumper cables, cable ties, a flashlight, an emergency sign, and basic first aid supplies.

It is also helpful to keep a snow scraper and a blanket or warm clothes handy.

Winter roads are unpredictable, so it is best to be well prepared.
