If you die freezing to death on a highway during a blizzard

Aren't you clever.

Except it was carbon monoxide...

Or blankets, wool maybe even a subzero sleeping bag

It's pronounced 'monoxide'

O assume you are being facetious.

imagine living in a snow state and not watching the news or not having snow preparedness stuff in the trunk or a plan if your going to be out in such harsh snow conditions

oh well get fucked

When winter time comes, always have a BLANKET in the car. Wrap the blanket around you and the warm breath from regular breathing acts like a heater to keep you warm.

I have tried this for lengthy amounts of time in sub-zero temperatures several times now, even taking long naps feeling nice and warm the entire time. After only a few minutes your breath warms up the inside of your blanket.

or just stay home since there was about 4 days of warnings about what was coming

Also, I always performed this in a car which was totally cold and has not been started for many hours. So it was not already warm in the car, and was the same temp as a car would be sitting outside in sub-zero temps for many hours.

I can't fathom this shit. Even just hand warmers. Basic carbon monoxide lesson. And a flimsy Mylar blanket. You could keep it all in your center console.

Wool blanket. Synthetic 20deg or lower rated bag. Hand warmers 8 per day.



Hand warmers inside your bag will increase your rating by a fuck ton. Drop one by your feet and one on your chest.


I have wool blanket and 0 degree bag plus 2 boxes of 10hr hand warmers.


That's all you need. I also have sun shades for ground pad if needed and inflatable winter pad. Food. Thermals. Socks gloves hats. Boots.



How could people travel without basic winter shit

I have spent a night in -20°C in my old car.
One blanket for the kids,
a jacket for me ...
it was endurable.
No danger of dieing.

I went out to dinner in it but was on well trafficked roads. 100% snow covered and windy whiteouts. Had AWD, ass heaters on full, fog lights and defrosters blasting away. Got to test out the skid control, ABS, AWD and traction control systems.

These newer cars make it harder to have fun in a snowy empty parking lot tho.

^^definitely this^^

dont know why but made me laugh.

How I did it in The Great Blizzard of '78.

I monitored the weather days ahead of the storm and prepared my car with blankets, food, and water. I had a 20-mile commute to work. The blizzard was forecast to hit on a workday.

On the day of the blizzard, drove into work and was forced by the boss to leave late at 6 PM.

The blizzard had already hit my area at 4:00 PM...and after driving just 5-miles, I hit a snow drift and it stopped my car cold.

Turned off the engine.
Layered up my clothing.
Had dinner in the back seat.
Peed and pooped in a bucket lined with a plastic bag.
Wrapped myself up and went to sleep.

Next day around 2 PM, rescuers came and helped me get out of the 8-feet of snow; but I could have survived in that situation for many more days.

Only idiots die in situations like that.

How about not being out driving around when there have been month-long warnings?

Candles help also...and an extra jug of fuel...

Nah big daddy government gonna help you. There’s also police and ambulance. They gonna help you cuz they love you.

I would've called in sick.
