Being stuck in your car in a snowstorm can be deadly, but there are a few simple steps you can take to stay safe in the dangerous situation.
The American Red Cross offers several tips to prepare for the worst and what to do when it happens:
-First and foremost, it's never a bad idea to have an emergency kit stashed in your car with things like blankets, flashlights, nonperishable foods, liquids and extra batteries. These can come in handy whether your car is stuck in freezing weather or broken down in a remote location.
-If you are caught in snow and shelter or help isn't visible within 100 yards, the best thing to do is stay in your vehicle to avoid exposure. If possible, put a brightly colored cloth out of your window or tied to your antenna to indicate distress.
