Lived in Wisconsin for 38 years. I don't think I even know anyone who's had to abandon their car in a blizzard. I've heard of this happening in places that normally don't have snow, but never here. How does that even happen? Blizzards don't just show up out of nowhere. Usually the news is talking about it 24 hours before it hits.
