Blizzard conditions are extremely dangerous for drivers trying to navigate roads in poor visibility. Even drivers who are experienced with winter driving skills in vehicles equipped with four-wheel drive are no match for blizzard conditions and white outs. AAA offers these tips for navigating a vehicle in such a storm:

• If you lose sight of the road and need to stop, shelter in place. Your automobile is your shelter. Do not wander away from the car – you might not be able to find it when you return (and it’s best to conserve your warmth and energy). Stay seat belted in and call 9-1-1 for help.
• Attach a colorful sash, handkerchief or scarf to your antenna, side mirror or window. It will flutter in the wind and could alert any emergency services to the location of your vehicle. Don’t use white fabric – it will blend in with the snow. You can also turn your car’s interior lights on if it gets dark outside. This doesn’t sap much energy from your car’s battery, and it can help emergency services find you.
• You may choose to keep your car running so that you can make use of the heating system. Don’t overuse it, though. You want to save your gasoline. If you turn your engine on, make sure your exhaust pipe is kept clear. If it gets backed up with snow, you could risk carbon monoxide poisoning. 
• Insulate your body heat with anything you have on hand, from emergency blankets to crumpled-up newspapers to floor mats.
• When you’re driving in snow – serious snow, like a blizzard or a snowstorm – you need to remain calm and make smart, safe decisions. 
• AAA reminds motorists that the safest place to be during a storm is at home. If you don’t need to venture out, stay safe, warm, and comfortable at home. 
• Anyone stranded in a vehicle should call 9-1-1. AAA provides roadside assistance but cannot facilitate emergency rescue operations in treacherous conditions. 
• AAA reminds all motorists to use caution on snow-covered roads. If you must go out, pack an emergency kit with a cell phone charger, jumper cables, tools, warm clothes, snacks, and water. Remember, go slow on ice and snow.
