Interesting video, but I must say if I was driving by and saw to guys standing beside the road playing a trombone I'd think they were odd lol.

great film tribute, in the upper peninsula of Michigan (lots of snow), my dad had a model A Ford, no heater as usual so I suspect that the two guys vehicle also did not have a heater...

I live at 10,000 feet in Colorado. Sometimes you think you are fine until you aren't. I have been stuck in snow on my road so many times and had to walk home. If the wind is up 2 miles is a long distance in the mountains in the winter.

I drive jeeps and I am surprised how well those cars did in 2 wheel drive with chains.

Gee the poor guys. I was once stranded for 4 hours in 40 below F with three other people and a dog and to me it was amazing we survived. I have never felt cold like that before or since and I'll tell you there is fear in your heart.
