It's late
And now we have to dig ourselves out. I couldn't park my car in the garage as the back alley was impassible due to the snowdrifts, so I had to park it out front. Following the blizzard is a cold snap but it should still start fine. I've heard of two people who have died of exposure because they left their cars on the highway to try to get help after they got stuck. May the good Lord have mercy on them and grant them eternal rest.

Egad, why do people do that? If there was something that was ingrained on me since before I could even drive it was this: In the winter, keep an emergency heat source and blankets ready and Never, Ever leave the car.
So sad, and made all the more so because such a tragedy that need not have happened.
