Well, that is a really big traffic jam!

[imanamerican63]

In the Lake Tahoe area there is a 35 mile back up. Interstate 80 is still closed due to several days of snow and horrible weather. I feel for people! There is no relief in sight either! It is supposed to snow until for the next couple of days!

4. well..

It looks like
Either you walk out into the snow to find a hidden spot or you could walk off the road and shamelessly go then bury it in the snow. If you are a guy and its pee go into an empty soda bottle and dump it out if it gets full.

Women can use a funnel device like stand to pee.
And go in a bottle too.

3. why would anyone drive to/from Tahoe in this weather?

it's like driving in a hurricane. water can kill. so can ice. geez, put another log on the fire until you can travel.

5. Hope they have some good reading material...

A suggestion?
