Tie a red cloth to your vehicle to alert police that
you’ve been stopped by the snow.

Put
on
extra clothing or wrap a blanket around
you.
If
you have no blankets or extra clothing, make body
insulators from newspapers, burlap bags, rags, floor
mats
--
anything you can wrap around yourself or
tuck under your clothing to keep warm.
You
can run the engine to keep warm,
but
be careful.
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This can cause deadly CO (carbon monoxide) gas
to get inside.
CO
could overcome you and kill
you.
You
can’t see it or smell it,
so
you might not
know it
is
in your vehicle. Clear away snow from
around the base of your vehicle, especially any
that
is
blocking your exhaust pipe. And check
around again from time to time to be
sure
snow
doesn’t collect there.
Open
a
window just
a
little
on
the side
of
the
vehicle that’s away from the wind. This will help
keep
CO
out.
