Snow in October. Say it is'nt so !!!! Get ready
Now most of you know we have already been blessed with our first snow depending on where you live.
With power outages reported some where around the 875,000 homes with out it and schools closed in some areas it's not to early to take a few precautions.
Now where I live we can still see the grass 
But in other parts of New England there is no grass in site. If this is any indication of what's to come maybe you should start getting your car ready now.
1) Winter oil change and service: This is a great time to have your mechanic take a look at your tires, cooling system, charging system, belts and so on.
2) Get a box: Get a box for your trunk. In it you should have a roadside kit which includes flares and jumper cables. This can be purchased at just about any auto parts store or your big box stores.
3) Add to the box you should have a small first aid kit, small fire extinguisher,flash light, oil, windshield washer fluid, anti-freeze, extra gloves.
4) Blanket: This is a must for those in New England. For those who do not know a blanket can be a very useful tool should you become stuck. Throw the blanket under the tire that is spinning. The blanket in most cases will give you the traction you need to get out of the bad situation. It will actually take the space between the ice and your tire.
Remember car in park, stuff blanket then slowly try rocking, the blanket will work it's way under to assist you
SAFETY FIRST
Because boys and girls in New England you just never know !!!
