Just a reminder to keep a stack of warm stuff including a flask of hot
coffee in the car if you are going to use it.

Suggested:

Blanket and sleeping bag, wool hat and mittens as well as spare socks
and change of shoes also a packet of biscuits might be reassuring.

Have you got a shovel? Charged and topped up mobile phone? Torch? And
do your friends and whoever know what you are doing?

And last but not least are you going to play follow my leader when a
plonker shows you that you can in fact drive faster and closer than you
had at first thought safe?

And if you're going further than the local DIY, check for adequate
petrol as it's short.

I wouldn't bother - if you do have an accident there's a good chance
they won't stay clean!

Sounds like Lee Evans

Absolutely. You need the packet of biscuits to keep yourself going
while waiting at the checkouts, and the sleeping bag for waiting
outside before opening time to maximise your shopping experience.

Daft as it sounds we had a freeze up during office hours a couple of
years back and some people with only a couple of miles or so to go home
were stuck in their cars for several hours. One lad I met was on a bus
home and he ended up walking. It took hime 13 hours to get home.
He had his leg in plaster and was using a walking stick.

So if you think you are going to be OK with a small shopping trip think
again next time you hear weather warnings. Even if you think you are
100% fit.

If you are prepared, the devil will find someone else to annoy.
