Survival (12)
wikked: A massive snow storm stranded more than 300 motorists on a 100-kilometre stretch of Highway 402 in southwestern Ontario Monday.
The highway was fully reopened at 7:30 a.m. Thursday after two days of digging out stranded cars from snow drifts more than a metre high and towing them off the road.
Just over 320 vehicles were stranded Monday between Sarnia and London after intense snow squalls descended on the Lambton County area, bringing traffic to a standstill and forcing many to stay in their cars without food and water.
Some eastbound lanes of the highway were reopened Wednesday morning, but it took another day before snowplows and tow-trucks were able to clear the road in its entirety.
How well would you have survived this experience...
And do you think you would have preferred to be stranded during scorching heat and temperatures over 32 degrees C.

Never know with weather here, get all four seasons in one day sometimes.
A white christmas would be more than welcome, go rolling naked in the snow.
Same to you V, enjoy the merriment and fun.

I would have survived like everybody else. I would have been dressed appropriately with my trusty St. Bernard drooling spit in the back seat. He would have kept me warm...no worries.

Survival in cold conditions, no problem...I'm pretty damned hardy.
In the heat I'd struggle. Anything above 15C and I start to get tetchy

Quite the name "George" hahahaha. My dog was so cute as a puppy, didn't take long to grow. Wow. He is 6 now. He is not allowed in the house. He has an insulated dog house with straw and a piece of carpet for a flap. The doorway is jigged to the left so that the wind never enters straight on. It has shingles. I have crawled in there when he is in it. It is warm as toast in the winter.
