It’s one thing to try and prevent getting into an accident or being stranded somewhere due to a winter storm. It’s another to know how to handle things if an unfortunate situation does occur. Marion County Engineer, Roger Schletzbaum says that there are things you can do to help prevent a bad situation from getting worse. Such as, making sure you have at least a half tank of gas in your vehicle, keep blankets and warm clothes in the vehicle, along with any necessary medication and of course carry a charged cell phone with you at all times.
