Excellent advice from the Sheriffs office!

If you find yourself stranded in your car, especially during extreme weather conditions such as a blizzard, follow these steps to stay safe:

1. Stay Calm:
Take a deep breath and remain calm. Panicking can hinder your ability to think clearly.

2. Assess Your Situation:
Determine the severity of your situation, considering factors like weather conditions, visibility, and road traffic.

3. Stay Inside the Vehicle:
In extreme weather conditions, it's often safer to stay inside your car. The vehicle provides shelter and can be easier for rescue teams to locate.

4. Bundle Up:
Put on warm clothing and use any blankets or extra layers you may have in the car to stay warm.

5. Run the Engine Periodically:
Start the car engine for short periods to generate heat. Ensure the exhaust pipe is clear of snow to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.

6. Keep Ventilation Open:
Crack a window slightly to allow fresh air circulation and prevent carbon monoxide poisoning.

7. Signal for Help:
Use emergency signaling devices such as hazard lights, a brightly colored cloth, or even a flashlight to signal for help.

8. Call for Assistance:
Use your cellphone to call for help. If you don't have reception, periodically attempt to make calls. Save battery power by turning off unnecessary functions.

9. Stay Hydrated:
Conserve your food and water supplies, and stay hydrated. Eating small portions of food periodically can help maintain body warmth. Eating snow can actually bring down your body temperature and make your body burn calories quicker.

10. Be Visible:
Tie a brightly colored cloth to your antenna or place it in a visible location to make your car easier to spot.

11. Know Your Location:
Pay attention to road signs, landmarks, or use GPS to determine your location. This information can be crucial when seeking assistance.

12. Be Patient:
Understand that rescue may take time. Stay patient and positive while waiting for help.

Remember that safety is the top priority when stranded in your car. If you have any doubts about your situation, consider seeking professional assistance or advice from emergency services.

So the long-anticipated winter storm is approaching us, and this is your reminder to plan ahead before you travel and, even better, plan to stay put until the storm clears and the roads have been plowed. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning from 11 p.m. tonight until 11 p.m. Saturday night. Heavy snow and blowing snow is expected. Total snow accumulations between 5 and 11 inches are predicted. Winds could gust as high as 50 mph. Snow and blowing snow may reduce visibility to a quarter mile or less. Near blizzard conditions are possible, especially Saturday morning. Travel will be very difficult to impossible, with road closures possible.

If you are heading out, make sure that you have survival gear in your vehicle -- including snow shovel, tow strap, tire chains, flares, additional warm clothing, some food and water, cell phone and charger, a good ice scraper. You could be stranded on closed roads for hours in the worst case, so you should be prepared for that possibility.

Please drive exceedingly cautiously. Travel at a safe speed, which will be much slower than on dry roads. Drive predictably. Use your turn signals. Accelerate and decelerate smoothly, avoiding abrupt moves. Give plenty of room to other vehicles. And if you pull over, make sure to get well out of the traffic lanes and use your emergency flashers.

And if you don't really need to head out in the first place, please just hunker down and wait it out. Between the Colorado Department of Transportation snow-plow operators and tow-truck drivers, getting roads open is faster if they don't have to weave around stationary vehicles.

The Colorado State Patrol has lost 11 troopers who were struck by passing motorists. All 50 states have “Slow Down, Move Over” laws to protect law enforcement but fewer than 30 percent of Americans understand the law. So please move over a lane to give them room to work. If you cannot move over then please slow down. This includes tow truck drivers and maintenance crews.
