Tie a sed cloth to your vehicle to alert police that
you've been stopped by the snow.
Put on extra clothing or wrap a blanket 'aro'und 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.
Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This can cause deadly GO (carbon monoxide) gas
to get inside. GO 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,
