Cincinnati Winter Weather; What to Keep in Your Automobile At All Times.

Winter weather is upon us here in Cincinnati, and that means that with the snow and ice that car accidents are on the rise! We have a peculiar winter in that our temperatures border on the freezing point on many days in the winter. This means that we can get rain or have melting snow during the day with temperatures above freezing, and then when the sun goes down and the temperatures fall at around 6PM, this moisture can turn into ice on the roads.

A One Car, Car Wreck on I-275

I have seen it myself on I-275. Although I was prepared for the roads to become icy and my car to slide there was nothing I could do when my car hit black ice and I began to turn 360 degrees still moving forward on the highway! After sliding on the ice for nearly a mile my car eventually plowed through the snow bank and down a snowy hill. Fortunately there were other drivers on the highway at the time who saw me go off the road near Sharonville and a guy with a winch on his truck was able to pull me up the hill and I was O.K. But I would like to make some important recommendations of things that you should have in your car in the winter that can help you survive an automobile accident.

Things that you should have in your car in the winter.

Thank You, Drive Safe, and Happy New Year.
