Tips and Tricks to Master Winter Weather

Tips and Tricks to be the Master of Winter Weather!

Here comes the snow! We have had very nice weather for much of the winter already!

This weekend here in Stark County, Ohio they are calling for inches and freezing temps.

Here are a few tips and tricks to help you become the Winter Weather Master!

1.  Kitty Litter!

Keep a bag in your trunk. Not only is the added weight good for traction, but if you get stuck in the snow as well. Simply sprinkle the kitty litter under your tires for added traction!

2.  Socks!

Get a couple of those mismatched socks that everyone has laying around and put them to use!

Cover your windshield wipers to keep them from freezing to your windows!

3.  Vinegar and Water!

Make a spray bottle of 3:1 solution of vinegar and water! Spray your windows to keep them the ice from forming.

4.  Spatula!

No ice scrapper? No problem! Use a plastic heavy duty spatula from the kitchen. (Do not use metal)

Use the spatula to scrape the windows and remove ice.  

5.  Non Stick Cooking Spray

Need to shovel out of the driveway? Spray the shovel with non stick cooking spray so that the snow will not stick to the shovel!

Do you have any tips and tricks of your own? We would love to hear them! Comment below!

Winter Driving Tips from Rankl & Ries

Just when we start to get over the cold temps outside, Mother Nature had plans to drop some 

wicked weather our way.  We wanted to give you a few reminders on navigating through the winter roads.

1.  Make sure to clean off the ice, snow and dirt are cleaned off of your 

windows, headlight and tail lights.

2.  Make sure your windshield wipers are in working order. Consider winter blades for 

this time of the year.

3.  Keep an ice scraper in your vehicle.

4.  If the road conditions are hazardous, wait if possible before going out.

5.  Drive slow and know your brakes. Increase the distance between you 

and the vehicle ahead of you.

New Year's Resolutions

New Year's Resolutions

New Year's Resolutions date back some 4,000 years ago to the ancient Babylonian's.

The Babylonian's would make promises in order to earn the favor of god's.  They would make promises to start the new year off on the good foot.  They promised to repay debt and to return things that they borrowed and never returned during the year.  

Today some of the most popular resolutions include:

-loose weight

-eat better

-go to the gym

-improve finances

-start a business

-get a better job

-make new friends

-pray more

-spend less time on social media

Many resolutions fail because people tend to set unrealistic goals.  They do not track progress.  People tend to become frustrated and just forget about them.

If you plan on making a resolution keep it simple, make it something you know that you can accomplish and keep track of your results.  

Happy New Year from Your Friends at Rankl & Ries Motorcars!
