    Default Travel Warning

    The government just issued a warning that anyone traveling in icy or blizzard conditions should take:
    - Shovel and blankets or sleeping bag
    - Extra clothing including scarf, hat and gloves
    - 24 hours supply of food and drink
    - 3 kg of rock salt
    - flashlight with spare batteries
    - Road flares and reflective triangles
    - Tow rope
    - 20 litres of fuel
    - First aid kit
    - Jumper cables
    I felt like a complete idiot on the bus this morning.

    But wouldn't you be the hero if the bus got stuck and you were the only one with the right gear.

    what do they know that the BOM isn't telling anyone else?
