It's hard to tell which is getting more hype today—the Super Bowl or the super snowstorm that is threatening to give the midsection of the East Coast a gut punch. By some accounts the storm could be a record-breaker, at least in Washington D.C. So here's a bit of advice: Stay home!

Honestly, don't venture out on the roadways unless you really have to. There will be plenty of time after the storm has cleared to stock up on snacks for your Super Bowl party on Sunday.

If you have no choice, take a look at our Guide to Safe Winter Driving before venturing out. Don't forget to stock your car with the 12 things you'll need if you get stuck or stranded, starting with a cell phone.

You may need a refresher course in how to handle your car in icy conditions. And come Sunday, or the next time you leave the house, be sure to clear all the snow from your car to keep yourself and other motorists safe. Some states ticket drivers who allow snow or ice to blow off a moving vehicle.

Meanwhile, in Miami the weather report for Sunday's game is clear and warm. Go teams!
