Until today, Bismarck has had one of our warmest falls on record.

After a very warm, September, October, and a good share of November, we have downright balmy.  You just knew we were going to pay for it eventually.  That time is now as we are about to transition right into winter-like temperatures.  We could even see single-digit temperatures for over night lows in the next week.

I remember last winter I happened to leave a bottle of Powerade Zero in my truck on a very cold night.

Needless to say, it was frozen solid after a freezing night.  I decided to let it unthaw in the house last night and I brought it to work this morning.  The color (light blue) didn't look as bright.  I shook it several times before I took a sip.  YUCK, it just didn't taste right.  No matter how many times I shook it, something wasn't right.  Yep, freezing temperatures can mess with just about everything.

This got me thinking, what else should we avoid leaving in our vehicles when the mercury plunges? 

According to an article on Boston 25 News, you should avoid letting the following freeze in your vehicle.  Most of these are obvious, but a few of these might surprise you.  I also added an item from my own experience.  If you're a big hunter like myself, you are going to want to keep this one in mind.

So, without further ado, here are 6 things you should keep out of your vehicles once the temperatures get fridged.
