Because no matter how much snow you've dealt with, you could still look at this list and think, "DOH!"

AAA Mid-Atlantic's Top 5 "Last Minute, Common Sense Tips"

1-Dress as if you were going to be stranded.

2-Open the garage door before starting the car to prevent carbon monoxide build up.

3-Bring your vehicle clearing supplies, such as ice scraper, snow shovels, and deicer spray, INSIDE.

4-Check your antifreeze to ensure it will withstand the winter cold, using a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water to protect against freezing.

5-Never pour hot water on door locks or windows to deice them, as they may crack.
