Stuck in the snow? Here’s what to put in your Jersey survival kit
In 2018 a fast-moving snowstorm stranded motorists across New Jersey.
New Jersey 101.5 Chief Meteorologist Zarrow says "snow just poured out of the sky."
It came in so heavy and so fast that hundreds of motorists got stranded on the Parkway.
Experts recommend that you keep an emergency kit in your car for such emergencies.
Things like:
Blankets
Water
Emergency Food
Flares
Shovel
While those are great ideas, that's kind of boring.
