The winter season has been pretty ridiculous. Yet another major snowstorm is expected to blanket the Northeast in the white stuff (we're beginning to think there is something to that whole groundhog thing).
So if you're bracing for yet another storm, we thought it'd be helpful to go over our survival list (Note: marshmallows not included).
1. Travel Shoe Bags - Because wet, dirty snowboots are not cute
2. Compression Packers - Pack several sweaters and blankets in compression packers that you keep in your trunk. You never know when you might be stranded in your car.
3. Candles - Whether you make your own or buy them, they're a cold-weather staple
4. Hot chocolate - OK. So, this isn't necessarily a necessity, but how can you have a snow party without one?
Having to toss out all of your toiletries at the security checkpoint can really put a snarl in your spring break plans. That's why everyone should know 3-1-1 rule before they go.
3-1-1 for carry-ons = 3.4 ounce (100ml) bottle or less (by volume) ; 1 quart-sized, clear, plastic, zip-top bag; 1 bag per passenger placed in screening bin. One-quart bag per person limits the total liquid volume each traveler can bring. 3.4 ounce (100ml) container size is a security measure.
**Tamperseal Tip** The easy way to to deal with the 3-1-1 rule? Buy packing aids that are already compliant -- like our aluminum travel bottles.
Be prepared. Each time TSA searches a carry-on it slows down the line. Practicing 3-1-1 will ensure a faster and easier checkpoint experience.
3-1-1 is for short trips. If in doubt, put your liquids in checked luggage.
Declare larger liquids. Medications, baby formula and food, and breast milk are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding three ounces and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint.
Travelers should consider packing "smarter," on the heels of an announcement from the National Intelligence Director that another national security incident is certain.
While life doesn't stop because of constant security threats, the time it takes to make it through airport security does vary. One of the best ways to do your part to keep the lines moving is to know the rules about liquids and gels.
One easy way to pack your products? The TSA compliant 1-quart pouch with 3 oz. bottles.
As the northeast gets slammed by a monster snow storm, it reminds us all that if we're traveling North this season, you've got to be prepared.
For us, that starts with how you pack. How many sweaters can you fit in a carry-on bag? Yeah, not that many. We've tried. That's why we suggest using compression packers for heavy winter clothing.
Air expels from a one-way valve, allowing you to pack more than one sweater or jacket in a super-thin pouch.
Item No.2 ? Shoe bags, of course. When you're out trolling around in dirty snow slush, you don't want your shoes to mar your clothes. Using a shoe bag creates the perfect barrier.
You have enough to worry about before you travel this week. Don't turn packing for you trip into a crazy chore. If you're northward bound and are packing heavier clothes, use compression packers to save space.
We all know puffy marshmallow winter coats are hard to pack. It's like they need a suitcase all their own, but with airlines charging insane prices for more than one checked bag, you need all the help you can get.

Now Enjoy some Recession Travel Tips from MSNBC.com
1. Cash in those bank rewards travel points
Citibank,
Chase and Capital One have been hit hard with the financial crisis, and
they're watering down the value of credit card rewards points as a
result. If you have 20,000 or fewer points (or miles) in any of the
major credit-cards rewards programs, consider cashing then in before
they're devalued further.
2. Save money on fancy restaurants
Go
to Restaurant.com and buy a $25 gift certificate for a fine restaurant
near you (or at your destination) for only $10. Hundreds of eateries
are willing to sell $25 gift certificates for only $10 because it helps
encourage customers to dine at their establishments.
3. Packages can offer the best savings, but a new Web site helps verify the quality of any given deal
To fill rooms and seats, hotels
and airlines will resort to rock-bottom prices, but they don't want to
publicize these discounts. So they sell a certain number of rooms or
seats to companies that bundle them in packages. How good of a deal are
these packages? Dealbase.com trawls the Internet for package deals. Its
computers then figure out how much it would cost to book the component
parts of the package (such as the hotel room and spa credit)
separately, estimating for you how much you will (or won't) save by
booking the package.
4. Use envelopes for easy budgeting during a trip
If
you have trouble sticking to your budget or keeping track of numbers,
try putting cash into different envelopes marked for each day. Only
spend the cash in your envelope. Use your debit card for emergencies
only.
5. Try a ‘supermarket souvenir’
Instead of
loading up on $20 T-shirts nobody likes, seek out local supermarket
staples that may seem exotic back home. Examples include
chocolate-covered macadamia nuts from a Safeway in Hawaii or a
nicely-packaged box of tea from a Tesco supermarket in Britain. Check
out our gallery of inspiring supermarket souvenirs from our staff and
our readers.
