The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

 March, 1993 ... Storm of the Century. I was crossing the North Atlantic just ahead of this, aboard a narrow, shallow-drafted ship with no keel and a flat bottom - literally bobbing like a cork in a bathtub. That's a lot scarier than sleeping in your car with the engine running for heat, and setting your watch alarm to go off every 1/2 hour so you could go out and kick the snow away from your tailpipe. I read today that the storm of '93 killed 318 people across the eastern part of the country. It spanned from well into Canada all the way down to Cuba. I think being stuck in that car is scarier. The ship was built to be at sea. I remember seeing the news reports of that storm posted outside the mess decks; everyone was slightly panicked for family back home in the Norfolk/Little Creek area that just got walloped. No doubt that was a bad one. A winter hurricane. Out in the yard with snow 18" deep and still snowing, we had thunder and lightening. Never experienced that before.

I remember it well! I couldn't find my car....the entire street looked like white lunar lumps from the snow covered cars parked.
