[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 613894, member: 1233"] EVERY car should have a big bag of kitty litter in it during snowy/icy weather. You can get by with road salt, but kitty litter works better. If you slide off the road and the car is drivable but you cannot get traction, sprinkle the litter under the tires in front and in back of them. Use a heavy coat not a light sprinkle. I always kept a scoop or coffee can or plastic cup (not the thin disposable kind as they get brittle when stored in the trunk) to help spread the litter. The old kind works and so does the clumping. If you don't want to do a lot of scraping of the windshield, pick up some carpet scraps or use old boxes and put them over the windshield. When you go out to start the car, you can just pull them off and not scrape so much. A friend swore that the flannel backed vinyl tablecloths were perfect for this until the second day we got ice. Then it fell apart on her. [/QUOTE]
