Safety tips for driving in the snow.Another wave of snow is crossing the United States. We in Nashville TN have been worrying about those still out on the roads today.  Our roads are a mess!

Our Metro Police Department has issued some safety tips if you are on your way home and get stranded in a vehicle due to snow and ice:


  • Pull off the highway. Turn on hazard lights and hang a distress flag from the radio antenna or window.
  • Remain in your vehicle where rescuers are most likely to find you. Do not set out on foot unless you can see a building close by where you know you can take shelter. Be careful.
  • Run the engine and heater about 10 minutes each hour to keep warm. When the engine is running, open a downwind window slightly for ventilation and periodically clear snow from the exhaust pipe. This will protect you from possible carbon monoxide poisoning.
  • Exercise to maintain body heat, but avoid overexertion. In extreme cold, use road maps, seat covers, and floor mats for insulation. Huddle with passengers and use your coat for a blanket.
  • Drink fluids to avoid dehydration.
  • Be careful not to waste battery power. Balance electrical energy needs - the use of lights, heat, and radio - with supply.
  • Turn on the inside light at night so work crews or rescuers can see you.

Lets hope that you are warm and save at home by this time!

Spring, you are welcome anytime!
