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.
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.
