These are the 10 items you should have on hand as the weather turns cold and the snow begins to fall.
We have been lucky in Illinois this winter. We have not yet seen bitter cold or a large shower of snow. But, it is pretty doubtful that we will get through the entire winter season without either of the traditional markings of an Illinois winter. With that in mind, Patch has compiled a list of items you should keep in your car during the colder months. Much of the information below was compiled from weather.com.

Editor's Note: The following is from a release issued by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency: Despite an unseasonably warm start to December, winter’s cold, snow and ice are just around the corner. To help people get ready for winter weather, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) and Grainger are teaming up to offer an online winter storm preparedness sweepstakes. Five winners will win vehicle preparedness kits donated by Grainger. The sweepstakes is available on the Ready Illinois website. Participants must read information about winter weather preparedness and successfully complete a five-question quiz before registering for the prize drawing. The sweepstakes runs from Dec. 5-31. Winners will be announced in January. “…
