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.
A
CAUTION:
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.
You
can
run
the
engine
to
keep
warm,
but
be
careful.
