    Man I used to live in a mountain town that got lots of snow.

    I was walking home from the bar once and saw legs in the ditch.

    Some drunk chick had slipped or whatever, and as cars went by a film/layer of slush had covered most of her. She was just down for the count but still conscious. I guess she was just too weak/drunk to get up, then the cold took over. I couldn’t believe she was alive, and she wanted to go back to the bar lol. (Spoken in slurred shivered speech). No way the cars would have seen her.

    Obviously we helped her out and called 911.

    Now I always watch the ditches in snow season

      Thank you for doing that - you quite literally saved her life! A friend of a friend got overserved while underage at a bar in our small hometown, got kicked out of the bar, and froze to death walking home in -30°F weather. The bar was not held accountable for any of it. I wish someone had stopped and helped him out, it would’ve saved his life.
