    I would think that sunburn would still melt ice.

    Here's a good story!

    http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/...ern-snowstorm/

    But a good number of those stranded motorists were able to find shelter in the storm thanks to the kindness and generosity of Chick-fil-A restaurant employees and the restaurant's owner, Mark Meadows.

    Once the snow started accumulating, Meadows closed the restaurant and sent his staff home. But a few hours later, many of them returned – unable to get to their homes.

    “Our store is about a mile and a half from the interstate and it took me two hours to get there,” manager Audrey Pitt told me. “It was a parking lot as far as I could see.”

    So Audrey left her car on the side of the interstate and joined a flock of bundled up drivers trudging through the snow.

    “At one point there were more people walking than driving,” she said.

    Some of the drivers had been stuck in their cars for nearly seven hours without any food or water. So the staff of the Chick-fil-A decided to lend a helping hand.

    “We cooked several hundred sandwiches and stood out on both sides of 280 and handed out the sandwiches to anyone we could get to – as long as we had food to give out.”

    The staffers braved the falling snow and ice, slipping and sliding, as they offered hot juicy chicken breasts tucked between two buttered buns. And Chick-fil-A refused to take a single penny for their sandwiches.

    The meal was a gift – no strings attached.

    For the frozen drivers, it was manna from heaven.

    “They were very excited and extremely thankful,” she said. “People were thankful to get something to put in their stomachs.”

    Audrey said they were especially surprised that the sandwiches were free. Why not make some extra money during the storm? It’s not like anyone could go to another restaurant. Chick-fil-A had a captive crowd of hungry customers. So why did they give away their food?

    “This company is based on taking care of people and loving people before you’re worried about money or profit,” Audrey told me. “We were just trying to follow the model that we’ve all worked under for so long and the model that we’ve come to love. There was really nothing else we could have done but try to help people any way we could.”

    I can't imagine running out of gas or having to go to the bathroom while stranded all night in that weather. :(

    Go pack some toilet paper in your glove box or trunk. Don't put wet wipes as they'll freeze.

    Yea, I guess just open your door, squat and close your eyes, no one will see, right?

    I'm sure some people were thrilled they didn't have to go home for the night.

    I would've walked over to another car and said, hey can I hangout in your car with you and if/when you run out of gas we can go to my car? Then added a few more people to that option. Have 3-4 tanks instead of 1 and breathing in all the Carbon monoxide from the running cars.

    Oh who am I kidding, I would've called in for a chopper and got the fuck out of there
