• Avoid travel if possible. Expect delays and closures. If you can’t avoid traveling clean off your vehicle before driving. Drive slow, and don’t use cruise control. Roads can be slick even if they just look wet. Leave extra distance between vehicles and don’t crowd the plows!

• Practice safe shoveling: Dress warmly, stay hydrated, move only small amounts of snow, and take frequent breaks.
• If you’re stranded in a vehicle, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by running the motor for 10 minutes every hour. While your car is running, open the windows slightly for fresh air. Keep your exhaust pipe clear of snow.
• Watch for signs of hypothermia: confusion, shivering, difficulty speaking, sleepiness, and stiff muscles. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. If no help is available, the victim should be warmed slowly with warm liquids along with dry clothing and blankets.
