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.

LUTION:
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.
