after several days of heavy snowfall you are packing up a Winter kit for the car...you know, extra gloves, a set of jumper cables, etc. and you decide an extra N-CLEX book should be in there just in case you get stuck somewhere and don't have your books with you.

Don't forget white snowboots :stone
