If you are on a well-traveled road, show a trouble signal. Set your directional lights to flashing, raise the hood of your car, or hang a cloth from the radio aerial or car window. Then stay in your car and wait for help to arrive. ^ Wherever you are, If Ihwi ;Js no house or other source of , help in sight, do not leave *ur car to search for iistance, as you may Itl and let t- comef quickly in the blowing and drifting snow of a blizzard. Being lost in open country during a blizzard is ex­ tremely dangerous. Avoid overexertion and exposure. Stay in your car.

Freezing rain, wet snow and wind-driven snow can completely seal the passenger compartment. Run the engine and heater sparingly, and only with a down-wind window open for ventilation, Make sure snow has not blocked the exhaust frin't stay in one position loo long.
