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.

JTION:
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.
