    Gina,

    If you truly have frostbite, your toes would be black and you would have no feeling in them whatsoever. It could very well be that your feet are just VERY COLD from wearing sandals in winter. It's always something, isn't it??

    Rest In Peace Casey (Bubba Dude) Your paw print will remain on my heart forever. 12/02

    And, next time? Consider breaking the window on the passenger's side to get in.....3 hours is a little bit of a long time to wait in such conditions.

    I agree. Whenever driving in winter, ALWAYS make sure to bundle up - even if the car you are driving has a powerful heater. You never know when you're going to break down and be stranded.

    A couple in Saskatchewan who hit a ditch and were stranded tried walking home. They were found, frozen to death, 200 metres from their house.

    I didn't think I'd get frostbites, my toes are good now! my feet are USED to the cold, (it doesn't feel cold either unless I'm outside walking for more than 30 minutes,) I've grew up right by the coast for years and years, it occassionally sunshines. that's why my body didn't react cold until a couple hours later.

    hey, I only was on my way home .. I know this was a kind of risk.. okay, here's my excuse - my car's so unorganized and full since I'm moving around, so yup, I'm not prepare for road emergencies stuff yet. I've been meaning to duplicate my key but the home depot here doesn't have the copy of my key!

    I know cataholic!! we got stuck in woods, only email/text system would work, not phone >_<, road assistance take phone calls and my friend was working until 6PM, I waited because I thought he'd respond sooner. I had nothing to break my window with and they (the sides) are not made full of glass. owhell, it happens! it won't stop me from wearing sandals, I just love the cold breeze feeling.

    Glad everything turned out ok, but if nobody was answering, why not call 911?!

    Also.... if I may ask, where in PA are you? There's no snow here nor anywhere near here for a loooong time! I'm jealous!

    catnapper, you wouldn't believe this - relay cannot dial 911 for us!

    I left PA (allentown, about 40 minutes from you!) about a week ago, I'm back in new york. it finally snowed here in upstate two days ago too! but for only one day.. ..
