AAA's Arctic Air Advisory
During single-digit cold snaps, calls for dead batteries and other service-related needs across the state are expected to jump. AAA offers these additional reminders:
- Always travel with a cell phone and car charger.
- AAA recommends that if motorists become stranded, it is best to stay with the vehicle. If the engine can be started, run it only long enough to keep warm. Make sure the exhaust pipe is snow-free.
