    I know you’re smart but I just want to say it to make me feel better - If you run your car at all, please always make sure your exhaust pipe is able to expel exhaust. If it’s buried in snow, it will back into the car. Many families die this way when they get stuck in snow. 😣 I know this is your life, I watch all your videos, I just had to say it for you or anyone else who maybe didn’t know🫣

      Yes. I keep telling her stuff like this, you just said it better! This is very dangerous, and I actually hate seeing young (especially) women living like this. Immensely dangerous.

    As someone who loves the snow, I 100% see why you would park in the storm! I love all the thought you put into safety. You can tell you really think everything through. Sometime you gotta cook inside, no biggie. Not sure if it would help but a car cover or tarp may save you time cleaning off your car after snows like this so you can just pull off the snow. Safe Travels to you and your Element!

    YAY! TOTALLY the "true MVPs of winter!" I waved and thumbed up (thumbsed up? whatever.) EVERY plow driver I saw for the last three days. People complained, "Oh, I was late to work because I was stuck behind a plow driver. Myeh." And I'd just want to say, "Oh, and then what? Did you experience clear roads so that you could actually drive to work at ALL?" Hahaha oh boy. But yeah, the plow drivers kept our little Tahoe town functioning. Anyway, that was awesome!

      As per usual stupidity ran rampant, and they all came flying up here, wreaking havoc on HWY 80 with no chains or cables, no winter gear, not enough gas or no heat, no food etc. They disrupted our first responders and got in the way of our Plowers. But they need the views on their RUclips Channel, so I guess it is ok, to disrespect our mountains, our towns, our locals and law enforcement and medics/firemen, harass our wildlife, throw their litter all over our mountains and beaches and treat us like crap. But they are entitled to be served first and get rescued in minutes of getting stuck! That we are in their way from skiing, how dare the resorts close due to unprecedented weather!!!

    Just a tip. Never close the doors without having an alt method of getting in or getting out. A backup hidden key and 100% isopropyl alcohol (vodka)with a spray injector or nozzle, nothing? pour the alcohol over lock if you have locks on your car. Also a hammer to break a window in order to get in or out.

    In the olden days the plow driver used a VW Beetle to get from home to the snow plow , it looks like he could use an Elrond nowadays! 😊

    Rosa I have been loving your videos. I recently came across your channel with the -33 weather and you had passed through Missoula which is about an hour from where I live. In three weeks. I am moving out of my apartment and starting my car living life. I then have 16 days left of work next month and then I’ll really be able to start. Thank you for being an amazing person and woman for showing me that it can be done. Keep doing what you’re doing, maybe one day I’ll see you out and about.

    Yes, it IS fun! I always loved the fierce blizzards growing up in MI. Hint from on old Michigander: Always carry a spare set of keys in your pockets when you're going to be in a remote area in winter. If you dropped your only set in a deep drift, you may freeze before you find them.

    Woo HOO!!!! YES, Never Underestimate The Honda Element.
    I used to do this with my Element when I lived in Nebraska; it was how I "plowed" my driveway. Until that one winter...it snowed nonstop...I'd shovel and shovel and shovel, then the snowplow would come by to clear the street and snow me back in and I'd have to shovel THAT, and once I got everything all shoveled so I could get out of my (short!) driveway, the next snowstorm came. All Winter Long. We got one snowfall that would have taken me two weeks to shovel out myself; fortunately I got a guy with a tractor and a big board on the front to come and clear me out in two minutes -- paid him $10. SO worth it.
    You are brave in that little toaster.

    Snowbird, it is so cool to see you thrive in such harsh conditions and not complain. Sometimes the best meals are the ones you just through together with what you have on hand and you rocked that mix mash, lol. I have to say that I thought it was very smart to land in a place that you know the snow plows clear on the daily. Was very impressed how Elrond got you out of that mound of snow... wow. Take care my friend and be safe on those roads. :)

    Such a brave and adventurous young woman. Can you share with us or let us know if you did make a video already on how you accomplished 3 days in these conditions? Some people may not have supplies like you do to survive this. I live in a state where we do get blizzards and I want to be prepared in case I ever do get stuck on the road in a snow storm and can’t get home.
    Thanks for sharing your experience. ❤😊

    Hopefully you were smart enough to go to the grocery store before the storm hit and stock up on hot meals and soups and such. You don’t want to eat anything cold in a blizzard. Hot foods will keep your body temperature level.

    As a fellow Philly native born and raised i can completely relate to your journey I recently decided to relocate my family of 5 to the country outside of North Myrtle Beach SC to escape the craziness of city living. My family used to spend most summers camping in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey we have always talked about traveling across the country once my kids are out of the nest.
