one time I was driving on a road out of town - this was the bumfuqe
nowheresville I spent my teen years in - and it was snowing hard so
I couldn't see too well, and then my car slowed and came to a halt

I was like wtf so I got out and saw that I'd driven past the end of
where they plowed the road which is right around where it turns to
gravel, and my car was wedged in a snowdrift

fortunately I was able to back out without too much trouble and return
whence I came
