Quite a story. Good thing you guys were on that road to help that woman. I remember traveling through the Appalachians one winter in western MD, and encountered white out snow conditions. Only time I have been in those conditions, where pretty much all you can see is a sheet of white. I pulled off of the first exit I could (barely) see, got to the side of the road, and prayed that no one passing by would crash into me. Scary stuff when that happens.

That sounds like beautiful country, but I really like our mild climate here in the fall and spring.
We usually don't get snow until January, although ice storms can come earlier.

One that scared me, many many years ago, at night was driving a very back road in Wisconsin, 20 below zero and wind and had the gas line freeze. Nothing for 10 miles, and zero cars on the road. Finally after an hour a car came by and stopped, he took me into town, woke up the tow truck guys and we went back and towed in the car. I was very lucky that fellow came along, might not of been another car on that road all night.
