A big snow storm is slated to hit the east coast and dump a bunch of ice and snow on the New York area.  This is after warmer weather has been on the rise so many drivers have been prepping for spring weather only to now be hit once again with winter.  Here is how to be best prepared for the ice and snow to come.

• Top off your windshield wiper fluid and keep an extra bottle in your car.
• Make sure your battery is fully charged.
• Know if your vehicle has anti-lock brakes or non-anti-lock brakes as this will decide how you brake.  If you have anti-lock, you want to use steady pressure, if you do not, then pump the brakes.
• Have materials such as sand in your car in case you get stuck in the snow or ice and need some extra traction.
• Check to make sure your tires are properly inflated.
• Always have your gas tank at least half full so that the gas line doesn’t freeze.
