I remember one news story a cuppla years back, someone was driving from LA to Portland in the dead of winter. Snow shut down the pass around Medford, dude had to spend the night in his car wearing flip flops and shorts because that was all he brought.
Cars are too good, travel is too easy and people are stupid. I won't drive over a pass - even in late spring - without being prepared to spend the night in a snowbank. Just something I got in my head decades ago when I was a wee lad.
