Freezing in Michigan: Never Leave These 9 Items in Your Car

It’s safe to say Michigan is in a deep freeze this month—and it’s sticking around. Get ready for a rollercoaster of cold and really cold temps.

When things get really cold in Michigan, we need to think about how the freezing temps can mess with our daily lives—like what we leave in our cars. Some things can get ruined, others can become dangerous, and a few might just create a huge hassle you don’t want to deal with.

You may have some items in your car that have been there for months, and you haven’t even given them a second thought. But with Michigan’s freezing temps, those forgotten things could quickly become a nightmare of problems.

For example, have you ever left a can of soda in your car when the temps get extremely low? Trust me from experience, you don’t want to. That can will explode, leaving you with a sticky, frozen mess that’s nearly impossible to clean up when it’s below freezing outside.
