When driving in snow, bear the following in mind:

Keep in the highest gear possible, this will reduce the chances of wheel-slip and therefore skids.

Avoid harsh steering and harsh braking - these practices could lead to skidding .

Keep to a steady speed - avoid the need to speed up quickly or slow down quickly, these could also lead to skidding and loss of control over your vehicle.

If you are unlucky enough to be snowed in whilst travelling:

Try to ensure that your vehicle's exhaust outlet is not covered. In the severest of cases, this will cause your engine to stall and perhaps even prevent it from restarting (as the exhaust gasses cannot escape and will starve the engine of the air it needs to function).

In less severe cases, this can lead to exhaust gasses leaking into the car itself (especially if your exhaust system is less than perfect and has a leak). Open the windows every half hour or so to replenish the fresh air in the cabin...they only need to be open for a minute or so to do this.

If you or your passengers must sleep in the vehicle, make sure that at least one person is awake at all times (take it in turns to do so, if you are stranded for long periods of time).

Bear in mind that, when your engine has been switched off, cold air gathers first in the footwell of the car, so raise feet to a higher level to sustain warmth for longer.
