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.
