My car after backing it out of a snow drift that totally engulfed it.
I'm on a secondary road there and got a little snow blinded and not only could I not tell where the road was (I was navigating by
memory) I couldn't tell what was hood-deep snow or a huge drift.
I went into it at 40mph and the inside of the car turned dark.
My two concerns were a blocked tailpipe while being stuck and covered with snow, and a highway plow cresting the hill where I was stuck.
In the end, obviously I backed out carefully, not to get stuck worse, and cleaned it off enough I could carry on to the store.
Looking back, taking a second run to get through the same snow drift and carry on was probably not the best idea but the
alternative was backing about 3 miles through that same hood-deep snow. There was no turning around.
Good times
