It doesn't happen only in Scotland. Folks were stuck on the I-90 in Buffalo during our first "real" storm of the year, as snow piled up faster than it could be removed. Now they're talking about installing gates at the entrance to the interstate that can be closed to try to stop people from getting on the interstate in a major storm.

While sitting in my frigid car, puttering along on a minimum of fuel, I contemplated what I would do to stay warm if I were trapped on the interstate. Simple. I'd knock on the window of the guy stuck behind me, and ask if I could sit in his car until somebody came by to dig us out.
