Don’t drive at all if you can avoid it. If you must go out, wait until the snow plows have had a chance to do their work.

Don’t make it easy for “smash & grab” auto thieves. Keep wallets, purses, cell phones, keys, and other tempting items out of sight, if you must leave them in your car. If you’ll need to store valuables in your trunk while you shop, put them there before getting to your destination. Don’t let a thief observe you putting valuables into the trunk.

Maintain a current list of all your prescribed and over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and dietary supplements.
