- if you suspect someone (or a pet, we did this with a dog once that fell into a freezing river) has hypothermia, warming them up gently, starting with the core, is key. Heating pads, hot water bottles, warm drinks, and if you need to, a warm (not hot) bath with all extremities outside the tub.

- if you get stuck and don't have kitty litter, the floor mats from your car can be wedged under your tires to give you more traction. Spinning tires will just polish the snow/ice, resist the urge

But the only people we should be turning on are the ones who aren't terrified enough, not any of this bullshit "stop yelling at us and drink maple syrup/ Americans are all oafs and everyone hates you" nonsense. Channel that fear & urge elsewhere, literally take a breath and think for a second.
