While canvassing at night we got stuck in the snow and unable to move. We were in pitch darkness and very cold: freezing. After attempting everything to get out, it became very clear and reality set in. We had to discuss rationing two bottles of water, a candy bar and the unthinkable: cannibalism.
However, our discussion was shattered by a disturbing noise outside our van as we huddled for warmth. It was a distinctive noise only found in these parts.
We all turned fast toward the window. It was a lady who lived next door 50 feet from our van who asked if we needed her to call a tow truck.
It was a typical experience for Iowans to be stuck but we were unprepared.
We got towed out and the tow truck got stuck himself. We made it back to HQ fine and never discussed the details of our ordeal until now.
