Check out this U-tube. Not "my" deck, but I wish I had been smart enough to do this on my own deck.

Enjoy...

Thanks for this...our close friend lost a family member this way. It is a very REAL danger!

I assume that this isn't a problem if you have a remote starter.

FR: No problem if nobody's sitting in the car, but it will still fill up with CO. I sure wouldn't want to be the first to get inside. And I wouldn't try it if the car is in a garage, especially an attached garage.

Came too late for us. My brother died yesterday this way.

Please, PLEASE be careful.

FR: Dear Readers: I will not post comments that are either libelous or cruel. So don't waste your electrons.

Frank -- While you're on the subject of Things To Do So You Don't Die: PLEASE tell people to clear off the roof of their car, and not just the hood and windows. I saw a car down Northern Parkway shed a slab of snow the size of a manhole cover. Fortunately, there was no car directly behind him. Had there been, it could have cracked the windshield or worse, caused the other driver to swerve or crash.

FR: I've dodged a few of those flying guillotines myself. Very dangerous. Please, people - especially truckers - clear your roof of snow and ice.

this is a tweet worthy post. can you tweet it out so we can retweet, may save a life.

especially the note about snow on roofs...people seem to think its optional. saw countless offenders today.

Wise advice, however, before starting the vehicle, be sure to clear a sizable area around the exhaust pipe to allow the gases to vent. I always do this, and as evidence, I'm here to post.

If you do run your car, be sure to do AFTER you shovel it out and clear the exhaust pipe.

While you're out shoveling, might want to check your roof tops too.

Gosh, the pictures I 've seen look like the Rocky Mountains. Did Baltimore relocate to Denver?

FR: I've dodged a few of those flying guillotines myself. Very dangerous. Please, people - especially truckers - clear your roof of snow and ice.

Frank, you can't really expect truckers to climb on top of the trailers to clear them, would you?

To get them cleared is the same as de-icing jetliners. What trucking terminals or even truck stops has de-icers or sprayers?

People, when driving behind tractor trailers, you just have to be vigilant and watch for flying sheets of snow/ice and avoid them.

I want level my extreme criticism at those people who don't clear their CARS and drive them around like snowmobiles and those drivers who drive around WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS ON. How stupid are you? You can NOT be seen in low or little visibility. THINK outside your own little world so other drivers can SEE YOU. You could be liable for causing a crash because other drivers could not see your headlights.

Thanks for all the previous posts and I totally agree with clearing snow off the entire vehicle before driving.

For a quicker and easier way to clear snow off of your entire vehicle, please check out my wife's invention called the

Drive safely and Thanks !

That's something like I had half of my head does not go!

I hadn't thought about that. Thanks for letting me know. It's a good thing I know now, I live in Utah. We get LOTS of snow here. Not as much as Canada though.
