Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about something serious that can happen during those winter snowstorms. It might sound like common sense, but it’s a danger many people overlook: sitting inside a car that’s snowed in while someone is digging you out can be deadly.

Just last winter, a heart-wrenching story came out of New Jersey. A young mom named Jenna was inside her car with her two little ones, while her partner was outside shoveling it free from the snow. Unfortunately, the tailpipe of the car was blocked, causing carbon monoxide – a colorless, odorless gas – to build up inside. Tragically, Jenna and her one-year-old son, Noah, lost their lives due to this silent killer. Their three-year-old daughter, Lily, was the only survivor and is in critical condition. It’s heartbreaking to think that such a tragic event unfolded when they simply didn’t know the risks involved.

Another unfortunate incident happened in Brooklyn, where a man named Alex was found inside his running car, buried in snow. He likely got inside to warm up, but the vehicle became a death trap.

Safety Tips to Remember

Always remember, before starting your car in the snow, the exhaust pipe must be cleared. It’s crucial to avoid sitting in a vehicle with a blocked exhaust and never leave the engine running in enclosed spaces, like garages.

Let’s help spread the word about the dangers of carbon monoxide. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, just step outside if you can, or ensure that someone is keeping the path clear to the exhaust.
