Caught in a Blizzard
(CONZ)
Run your engine only as long as you
must. This saves fuel. When you run
the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the
accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel
for the heat that you get and it keeps
the battery charged. You will need a
well-charged battery to restart the
vehicle and possibly for signaling later
on
with your headlights. Let the heater
run for a while.
Then, shut the engine
off
and close
the window almost all the way to
preserve the heat.
Start
the engine
again and repeat this only when you
feel really uncomfortable from the
cold. But do it as little as possible.

Preserve the fuel as long as you can.
To help keep warm, you can get out of
the vehicle and do some fairly
vigorous exercises every half-hour or
so until help comes.
