Default Coolant Issue

My coolant level is just below minimum, triggering warning light. I need to make an extended roadtrip today..150 miles, probably in snow. Audi is closed. Can anyone suggest what I should do to remedy this problem? Can I use water or regular coolant/anti-freeze?

Default I'd definitely address it. I would top it off to the Cold/Full line w/ coolant, but...

I would also check exact spec requirements in your manual first. Usually, coolant is coolant. But I've yet to have a coolant issue in my car so I haven't check the manual on this.
