Stranded in the snow survival stories

[rebel]

I've been watching the news this AM about the snow in Buffalo, NY. One of the stories was about a basketball team that was stranded on a bus. They did fine. They had fuel for heat and melted snow for water. I'm sure there will be other stories related to this event.

That area got a lot of snow and got it real fast. Hopefully all of the stories will have a good outcome.

No stories from me cos no snow where I am at..only snakes, humidity, tigers, leopards, elephants, rain, floods and the occasional sighting of our own version of Bigfoot..

Tokwan, buddy, come to Canada, we apparently have snow as of now. but i promise not to strand you in it.

[Tokwan]

Hahaha..but I remember there was one movie..about a group of people led buy a teenager that were stranded in a library and his father had to walk many many a great distance to get to him....it was something like a winter holocaust or something,..if I am not wrong was it the "Day after tomorrow"?

I read this morning they are predicting another 3 feet on top of the 6 feet they already have. That, to me, is time to move.

Or to start tunneling.

Yep, starred Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhall.

[Tokwan]

Yep..I think that was the one.

I'm surprised and glad the death count isn't higher. I saw where some were trapped in a Walmart. They were watchingTV.

[Tokwan]

What? so sorry to hear that...

[Rick]

I guess there are worse places to get trapped. As long as the roof doesn't collapse you have food and water, sleeping bags, cook stoves, fuel, guns and ammo (in some), Skeet to kill the time (clean up in aisle 4, 5, 6, and 7) and you can pick up those new wiper blades you were going to replace.

[MrFixIt]

7' of snow!?
Sorry to hear about the deaths, hopefully the rain won't make the problem worse.

[hayshaker]

that much snow mixed wih rain there goes the roof at walmart?

[crashdive123]

They're talking about a warm up coming. Flooding will probably be a big concern.
