You Told Us What We Need in Our Vehicle for a Maine Winter

I am beyond excited to experience my first winter in Maine! I know I will be EXTREMELY unprepared for the ice, the snowstorms, and extreme cold temperatures, but I will learn as I go. One thing I would prefer to not learn through experience, and be OVERLY prepared for through the advice of Mainers, is vehicle needs and safety.

I have been graciously receiving so many tips and tricks that I knew it was time to compile a list because the only thing I have right now is an ice scraper (I save my credit cards for inflation). Here is what you told me that I need in my truck so I can be ready to handle anything that this first Maine winter throws my way.

Here Are Some of My Favorite Comments from You for Maine Winter Vehicle Needs
