Snow Survival Tips & Tricks

Image
  By Diane Tait I know what you’re thinking.   Since I live in Florida where it pretty much never snows, why am I dedicating this week’s blog to snow survival?   If you’ve seen the news today, the Northeast just got hit by one of the worst snowstorms in the past decade.   We’re talking up to five feet of snow in some places. Since I have friends and family in the northeast and have driven from JAX to Jersey on many occasions, I thought to myself, “What would I have done if I got caught in a snowstorm during the Christmas break when I last made the trip?”   I hate to tell you, but you don’t have to go that far north of the Florida/Georgia line to hit snow.   Even Atlanta gets snow from time to time.   Considering that we Floridians haven’t got snow tires or chains, let alone an ice scraper or a snow shovel in our trunks, I thought it best if I gave all of you a tip or two to help you get out of trouble should you ever find yourself in a snowstorm.
