What to Carry in Your Car in Winter 2022

Winter travel can be tough on car and driver, to prepare:

  • Check your tires and make sure your chains fit before the first winter storm and check tire pressure during cold weather. Remember, tire shops and mechanics are busiest just before and during winter storms.

  • Get a vehicle winter maintenance check-up. Don't wait to check your battery, belts, hoses, radiator, lights, brakes, heater/defroster and wipers.

  • Keep your fuel tank full — don't let it fall below half a tank on winter trips.

  • Program your radio for traffic reports and emergency messages (for WSDOT radio: 530 and 1610 AM).

What to carry on winter trips:

  • Keep a basic winter survival kit in your vehicle: flashlight, batteries, blanket, snacks, water, gloves, boots, first-aid kit.

  • Load your car with winter travel gear : tire chains, ice scraper/snowbrush, jumper cables, road flares.If you find yourself stranded, be safe, stay in your car, put on your flashers, call for help and wait until it arrives.

Merry Christmas

What an exciting time of year! I love how we stop and pause and think about all our blessings during these last months on the calendar. My life is generally pretty calm and quiet, but during this time I get to anticipate the chaos that will soon land at our house as my adult children and their families come home to share Christmas. This year, as I have prepared for their landing I have felt a special closeness to Mary and her time of waiting. Her patient waiting for Jesus to be born. What an amazing gift our Lord sent us. Not just a savior, but a rescuer! I pray you all know the joy of this truth. God be with you and your families during this season and always.

Merry Christmas from Danna and Nora.
