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.
