Reminder from NWS
The shelter and warmth of a vehicle can lead to a false sense of security during
winter travel. By using the following safety rules, you can help protect
your family from the harshness of winter.
Protect Yourself and Your Family
Check the latest forecast and road report before you set out. Call 511 for travel information in Montana.
Dress for the outdoor conditions, not for the warmth of the vehicle.
Have your vehicle winterized...give it a checkup.
Include a winter survival kit. Try not to travel alone, and stay on major roads. Let someone know the
route you are taking and when you plan to arrive.
Keep your gas tank full.
If you become stranded, stay with the vehicle. Do not try to walk away from the vehicle unless you can
see a place of safety at a reasonable distance.
If stranded, run the motor for about 10 minutes each hour for heat. Open a window slightly for fresh air.
Make sure the exhaust pipe is not blocked.
If stranded, tie a brightly colored cloth to the antenna, or let it hang from a rolled-up window on the side
of the vehicle nearest the road. Turn on the dome light at night when the motor is running. This will
make your vehicle more visible to rescuers.
If stranded, don’t allow all occupants sleep at the same time. Be sure someone stays awake! If you are
alone, stay awake! Move around, clap your hands, rub your legs, and stretch.

A heads up models are more and more into agreement that a strong storm will impact ND this next weeked (11-12th of Nov). Indications are that the western, central into parts of northeast ND could be in line for heavy snow and strong winds.... then a strong push of cold air behind it.
