I've read a bit about the situation in passing and I imagine it's much different in person. But that is exactly the reason I keep blankets, food and water (and other kit equipment) in the truck at all times. I could go on about officials not acting to block the on-ramps, people not keeping up with current events and overall situation awareness, but what's the point. Anytime you venture out in serious winter conditions it's a potential survival situation in the making.
