The thing I don’t understand is that they’re also clearly not dressed for the cold American winter either, it’s not like the climate cares about the border.
If they were, for instance, originally from Mexico, living in Arizona, and out of fear decided to drive as far north as possible, then get across the Canadian border in a place without roadblocks, they wouldn’t even own snow clothes. They might have originally thought they could stay in the car the whole way. Or a smuggler dumped them out of a truck in the middle of nowhere.
That’s how a family died here in Manitoba a few years ago… their “guy” dropped them off a little ways from the border for them to hoof it the rest of the way… Rcmp found them later frozen in a field. Worst part is they had an 11 year old and a baby with them.

I drive from Winnipeg to Iowa a lot and the difference is staggering.
There isn’t snow on the fields until you are north of Grand Forks.
A little further south and its sweater weather in January
They could have left travelling from a warmer state and just didn’t have/couldn’t afford warmer clothing.
