Staying Safe This Thanksgiving (And Beyond)

It doesn't look like the weather will play much of a role this Thanksgiving... locally, at least. But as we get ready to kick off the holidays, there are plenty of ways to stay safe when you're traveling. Here's a few things to consider if you're making any sort of road trip this holiday season.

1. Check The Roads: Knowing what the roads look like in relation to the weather will make you better prepared for your trip. You can check out Illinois road conditions here and Wisconsin road conditions here.

2. Keep Gas In The Tank: Having at least half a tank of gas comes in real handy if you get stranded for some reason. It's hard to stay warm in a car that isn't running.

3. Have An Emergency Kit: Once again, if you get stranded, you'll want a way to stay safe until help arrives. Find out what goes into a good kit and other safety tips here.

Have a happy (and safe) Thanksgiving!
