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
--
anytbmg you can wrap around yourself or
tuck under
your
clothing to keep warm.
A
CAUTION:
I
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
Thiscan 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.
