A warming blanket for use by individuals is provided. The warming blanket has an integrated heat coil which can be heated up by a pair of attached battery packs. Each of the battery packs is removably attached and includes at least one battery. The warming blanket is ideally used as an extra safety feature for vehicles in case the vehicle is stranded during very cold or very bad weather, such as a snowstorm, in which warmth may play a crucial role in the survival of individuals within the vehicle. In addition, the warming blanket will assist in saving lives.

What is claimed is: 1. A warming apparatus comprising: a blanket having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side, the blanket also having a first corner, a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner, wherein the first corner and the third corner are diagonally opposite one another, further wherein the second corner and the fourth corner are diagonally opposite one another, the blanket further having a perimeter edge extending along the first end, the second end, the first side, and the second side; a heating coil having a first end and a second end, the first end of the heating coil located at the first corner of the blanket, the second end of the heating coil located at the third corner of the blanket, the heating coil embedded within the blanket; and first L-shaped power means for providing power to the heating coil, the first L-shaped power means abutting and contacting the perimeter edge only and surrounding the first corner, the first L-shaped power means having a first section secured directly to perimeter edge of the blanket between the first corner and the second corner and a second section secured directly to the perimeter edge of the blanket between the first corner and the fourth corner; wherein the L-shaped power means abuts the perimeter edge at the first corner and is substantially free from extension over either the top surface or the bottom surface of the blanket. 2. The warming apparatus of claim 1 and further comprising: second L-shaped power means for providing power to the heating coil, the second L-shaped power means surrounding the third corner, the second L-shaped power means having a first section secured directly to the blanket between the third corner and the second corner and a second section secured directly to the blanket between the third corner and the fourth corner. 3. The warming apparatus of claim 2 wherein the first L-shaped power means is a first battery pack and the second L-shaped power means is a second battery pack, each battery pack having an internal battery compartment, each battery compartment of each battery pack having at least one battery, wherein each battery compartment is covered by a battery panel access door. 4. The warming apparatus of claim 1 wherein the heating coil coils back and forth in between the first corner and third corner of the blanket, further wherein the heating coil repeatedly makes one hundred eighty degree turns in between the first corner and the third corner of the blanket. 5. The warming apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first L-shaped power means is removable from the blanket. 6. The warming apparatus of claim 2 wherein the second L-shaped power means is removable from the blanket. 7. The warming apparatus of claim 2 wherein the first L-shaped power means and the second L-shaped power means are operable independently of each other thereby heating one side of the blanket to a different temperature than the other side of the blanket. 8. A warming apparatus comprising: a blanket having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side, the blanket also having a first corner, a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner, wherein the first corner and the third corner are diagonally opposite one another, further wherein the second corner and the fourth corner are diagonally opposite one another, the blanket further having a perimeter edge extending along the first end, the second end, the first side, and the second side; a heating coil having a first end and a second end, the first end of the heating coil located at the first corner of the blanket, the second end of the heating coil located at the third corner of the blanket, the heating coil embedded within the blanket, and first power means secured directly to the blanket along the perimeter edge and surrounding the first corner for providing power to the heating coil; wherein the first power means abuts and contacts the perimeter edge only at the first corner and is substantially free from extension over either the top surface or the bottom surface of the blanket. 9. The warming apparatus of claim 8 wherein the first power means to provide power to the heating coil further comprises a pair of battery packs comprising a first battery pack and a second battery pack, each battery pack having an internal battery compartment, each battery compartment of each battery pack having at least one battery, wherein each battery compartment is covered by a battery panel access door. 10. The warming apparatus of claim 8 wherein the heating coil coils back and forth in between the first corner and third corner of the blanket, further wherein the heating coil repeatedly makes one hundred eighty degree turns in between the first corner and the third corner of the blanket. 11. The warming apparatus of claim 8 and further comprising: second power means secured directly to the blanket and surrounding the third corner to provide power to the heating coil. 12. The warming apparatus of claim 11 wherein the second power means to provide power to the heating coil further comprises a pair of battery packs comprising a first battery pack and a second battery pack, each battery pack having an internal battery compartment, each battery compartment of each battery pack having at least one battery, wherein each battery compartment is covered by a battery panel access door. 13. The warming apparatus of claim 8 wherein the first power means is removable from the blanket. 14. The warming apparatus of claim 11 wherein the second power means is removable from the blanket. 15. A method for warming an individual, the method comprising: providing a blanket having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side, the blanket also having a first corner, a second corner, a third corner, and a fourth corner, wherein the first corner and the third corner are diagonally opposite one another, further wherein the second corner and the fourth corner are diagonally opposite one another, the blanket further having a perimeter edge extending along the first end, the second end, the first side, and the second side; providing a heating coil having a first end and a second end; positioning the first end of the heating coil at the first corner of the blanket; positioning the second end of the heating coil at the third corner of the blanket; winding the heating coil through the blanket in a serpentine manner; and securing first power means directly to the blanket; abutting and contacting the perimeter edge only about the first corner with the first power means; and powering the heating coil. 16. The method of claim 15 wherein the first power means comprises a pair of battery packs comprising a first battery pack and a second battery pack, each battery pack having an internal battery compartment, each battery compartment of each battery pack having at least one battery, wherein each battery compartment is covered by a battery panel access door. 17. The method of claim 15 and further comprising: securing second power means directly to the blanket; surrounding the third corner with the second power means; and powering the heating coil. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein the second power means to provide power to the heating coil further comprises a pair of battery packs comprising a first battery pack and a second battery pack, each battery pack having an internal battery compartment, each battery compartment of each battery pack having at least one battery, wherein each battery compartment is covered by a battery panel access door. 19.
