Was stuck in that I95 (in Northern VA) snow blizzard blockage 2 years ago, sat in 1 spot for 30 or 32 hours. Was in the single digits during the night. Had no problem, just ran engine to warm up to temp and throw a ton of heat, then shut down and use the blanket. F150 had a 36 gal tank.

Lots of others weren't so lucky with many, many running out of fuel. Big problem was food and water. I was fine cause I always carry a supply when weather can go south, but others, nothing. My sharing only went so far, with kids (and 2 expecting women) 1st, adults last.
