Old Man Winter Has Arrived, Are you ready for him?

My least favorite time has arrived, winter.  With living in Chicago you have to be prepared for anything.  Last year was a terrible year with the blizzard thing and since I have an actual driving commute this year, I need to get ready.  I have a pretty good commute, well traveled, nice roads, but if I have learned anything from last year, it doesn't matter, you can still get stuck.  Just ask all those people from Lake Shore Drive.

Now I have the basics in my car, jumper cables, and whatnot, but for winter I felt like I needed to be prepared alittle more.

Look who was helping Momma

So this is what I put together:

Parka - yes I do wear a winter coat, but this one is waterproof
Blanket - so I didn't run the heat to much and run out of gas
Extra Hat and Extra Gloves - both big enough to fit over the ones I wear every day
Water - hopefully I won't need that much
Candy Bars - just in case I get hungry or feeling alittle stress
Summer Mix CD - to help me envision warmer weather

So this is now in my trunk...Bring it on old man...I'm ready for you...
