[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would be surprised - one of my friends and her family were stuck on 95. They were driving up from Florida. She told me it was terrible. They did not have food or water with them, nor blankets. I always have blankets, water, snacks, jumper cable etc, the basics in the car. [/quote]

Who the hell drives that far without food/blankets/etc?

I get the people driving from Richmond (or wherever). But Florida? When we do anything over 4 hours or so, we always have water, snacks, jumper cables, and pillows and blankets.[/quote]
About five years ago we got off a Disney cruise, took a taxi to Orlando and found our flight home was canceled due to an ice storm. We couldn’t get another flight home for days so we rented a car and drove. We got snacks and water and coffee but had no blankets and mainly cruise clothes. We hit the horrible part of 95 at about 3 in the morning so we were fine, but we may have been screwed if we were a few hours later since the mixing bowl was super icy.[/quote]

I would have hit up a Walmart or Target.  You can usually find throw blankets for between $6-20 each depending on how much you want to spend and what materials.  The fleece throws are really inexpensive.  I would never try to drive from Florida to the DC area in winter without blankets.  If any emergency happens in the winter, you need blankets.  Especially if all you have are cruise clothes.[/quote]
