The car

RE: The car
I have done overnight in a car immobilized on I81 during a blizzard when nothing was moving. I did not run the engine for heat to conserve fuel. Instead a burned a candle in a soup can heater for heat and light, bundled up in a 2kg wool military blanket and wore my Navy watch cap and mittens. I keep a battery powered AM/FM radio in my Get Home Bag and listened to that instead of draining the car battery to listen to the car radio. Important to keep two windows cracked 1 finger width for ventilation. Monitored 2meter ham radio on portable. Slept intermittently but was not uncomfortable. Just bored. Log jam cleared 12 hours later and felt good to eventually get home in front of wood stove with strong tea spiked with Admiralty rum with blanket and cat.
