Driving in severe winter weather poses many challenges. Cars can get stuck in snowy conditions even on familiar roads, forcing the driver and passengers to spend the night on the roadside.
Here is some advice on how to prepare your car for winter driving if you have to make a journey and what to do should you be caught out in bad weather.
BEFORE YOU LEAVE
Tyres: Ensure your tyres are inflated correctly and that you have a minimum of 3mm of tread on your tyres to cope with wet and slippery conditions.
Battery: In winter, the battery will run down quicker than in warmer weather. Make sure you do a regular long journey to top it up or trickle-charge the battery.
Engine: Modern engines are more robust than older ones. All the same, depress the clutch when starting as this will reduce drag on the engine when starting, and preserve the battery.
Screenwash: Keep this topped up and use a proper additive at the right concentration to prevent it freezing.

Sandstorms blasted regions in northern China on Sunday (April 25), leaving a blanket of dust over areas in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia and Jilin province on Monday (April 26), state media reported.
Dust filled skies lowered visibility to just two metres over the weekend and a cold front sweeping northern China is likely to bring strong winds and low temperatures for the next two days, the China Meterological Administration said.
Strong winds caused fires to spread rapidly, killing three people and seriously injuring one, CCTV reported.
The winds blowing over central and eastern Inner Mongolia could reach speeds of around 50 km per hour, the weather report said, causing temperatures to drop by 10 degrees Celsius in some areas.
Spring snows have added to farming troubles in Inner Mongolia, which saw its worst winter in 50 years.
China's officials warned those in the affected regions to take precautions against more severe weather expected to hit the region.Sandstorms blasted regions in northern China on Sunday (April 25), leaving a blanket... more

Sometimes people decide to call things FAILs, when they aren’t really that FAIL. I try to find the good in everything, so this is another edition of some FAILs that I don’t think are really FAILs.
Current.com user Smurph25 and his whole family are on the right track in thinking that this is not a FAIL. The building simply wants to keep some things in and some things out. They want to make sure that people can enter, and that elephants cannot. Just because you escaped from the zoo, does not mean you are welcome in our courtyard.
FAIL really? Okay so maybe you didn't like the movie when you first saw it. And maybe you didn't like it when your roommate Evan quoted it every five minutes. But you totally loved it when you watched it again. It happened to me. As for the tattoo, totally legit, but he should have added to it, like with some cool dude sunglasses or something.
Not a FAIL. There's only one proctologist on the North Pole. Sure he's a snow man, but he is totally qualified. That being said, I do agree that it's a bit unprofessional to have a doctor's office in the middle of Target, but hey it's one of the few places on the North Pole with ample lighting.
Oh are you that dedicated to buying things? I thought you were anti-capitalist. I saw you at the anarchist bookstore ranting about Abbie Hoffman's concept of The Free Store and now you're railing fun of people who embody this ethic? Shame on you, and the hypocritical values you embody. You sir are the FAIL in this scenario.
This item costs £1.99, which signifies that this is a British product. British English is funny, they call astronauts: pirates. Conversely, Blackbeard is the most famous astronaut in all of Britain.
This is absolutely not a FAIL. This is part of Azerbaijani Prime Minister Artur Rasizade's campaign to put a McDonald's in every home.
Who cares about your cooking sheet, the cookies are ready!
FAIL? Yeah right! This baby's dad probably got so many high fives from this hilarious picture he took of his son reading this Lads' mag.Sometimes people decide to call things FAILs, when they aren’t really that FAIL.... more

Occasionally people call things FAILs, when they aren’t really that FAIL. I look for the glimmer of goodness in everything, so this is another edition of some FAILs that I don’t think are really FAILs.
This guy worked hard every day of his life to become a VP at a huge insurance firm. The hard work paid off, and now he can impress all, y'all with this sick ride. You only call this a FAIL because you're so gosh darn jealous.
I know you're acting like everything Chris Brown does is a FAIL. But he's holding a very cute puppy, and unless that dog has rabies, is not a FAIL!
Is there a better way to teach health students the miracle of life, then by illustrating it on a cake? It's like that old saying: "all knowledge stems from Angel Food".
You read it wrong. Not only are they offering you free internet, they're also offering a free Hi-Fi stereo receiver WITH phonograph, Edison would be so proud!!!! Bring your square-dancing 78s to room 216, and we'll have such an irreverent party!
The FAIL lies in misunderstanding the sign. But I think we can sort this out. To the writers of this sign, I know by writing "no bikes" you also implied "no SUVs" but I think that the driver missed the implication. Perhaps the driver was from a low-context culture, where things need to be expressed more explicitly. Cultural sensitivity, learn it bro!
Why is this a FAIL, when you know that Google rights all of your wrongs?
Question, where are your nails? This is only raunchy if they are on your crotch. I'll give you a partial FAIL, because they call this the "grand opening" but it's been there for six months.
I guess this shows the endemic FAILs perpetrated by predatory lenders. This toddler can barely do anything without her pacifier, and she's already $38,375 in debt. Why did the financial institution give her such a huge credit limit? They knew she's ineligible to work, on account of strict US child labor laws.
Oh so sagging isn't cool anymore? C'mon sagging was awesome in junior high. By sagging below his knees, this fellow is taking us into the future of fashion.
What? Everyone in Denver loves Brian!Occasionally people call things FAILs, when they aren’t really that FAIL. I look... more

Ok~ so a quick run down on what happened in the FIRST WEEK OF January!!
First of all: We challenged all of you freaks out there to take the 1 green thing challenge (and then we offered to help you achieve your goal):
I got a little crazy and decided to take on removing all of the garbage I am personally responsible for putting into the oceans (and am trying not to freak out that it is going to 559 pounds).
The cold weather has gotten to some climate deniers in Alaska, apparently they think if it's not warm in Fairbanks global warming is a face, and built a 2 ton green ice statue of Gore as a way to challenge him to a debate:
Oh Avatar. The war might be over on Pandora, but it's alive and well here in the Internets. A few comments about how the movie calmed the environmental activist withing turned out to be fuel for the fire.
Scientists are saying that dolphins should be treated as "non-human" persons.
The Sea Sheppard's whale-protecting Batmobile was attacked and sunk by a Japanese ship.
And in case you didn't get the good news: planet earth won this week: Victory for the Black Mesa
A few finds that are destined to bring a smile to your face:
This guy is doing interpretive dances to the natural world:
I'm not sure if you noticed or not, but it's winter. And the weather men and women are going through some hilarious trials and errors as they report on it. Why is it so funny to watch weather reporters get run over by kids on sleds? I'll ponder that one all weekend long: http://current.com/items/91855814_live-from-the-snow.htm

Beijing was buried under snow a few days ago when a massive snowstorm hit the Chinese capital. It's still incredibly cold there (Beijing today hit a 40 year record on its minimum temperature), but we've got some beautiful pictures to warm your heart. From the blog ChinaSMACK.
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="560" caption="The Gate of Heavenly Peace (Tian’anmen) after a snowfall - ChinaSMACK"][/caption]
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="560" caption="The Forbidden City in the snow - ChinaSMACK"][/caption]
From CCTV - which has set up a whole special report section for the snowstorm.
Mariana van Zeller from Vanguard is in China right now and said on Twitter: "The first snowfall of the new year here in Beijing. China has the potential for 1.3 billion snow angels." She looks cold.
Anyone else out there in China have some pictures? Post them in the comments. Likewise, if you think the Beijing snow doesn't hold a candle to your local snowfall - send us those.
