Reply to comment by Boredzilla in LPT: If driving in a snowstorm and your GPS suggests taking a faster route, don’t do it if it takes you off the Highway. Backroads are usually last to be cleared of snow and you could get stuck! by Bradiator34

Wait, did you think Google maps was a road safety app at the time? Or that mountains with winding roads are somehow easier to navigate in winter conditions than highways?

I thought Google Maps gathered data and picked the best available route, and by the time I realized what I was getting into, I wasn't in a situation where I could realistically turn around or stop without getting stuck.

I freely admit I was an idiot, but the LPT may save someone else from that experience.
