Love stories like that...especially when they are true. Glad you were able to show the folks on your road what capable snow driving and chains can do.

As for your list of stuff in the Prius, the only thing I would suggest adding is water and some food stuffs. We keep granola and protein bars in the van...because we never know when a blizzard will kick up and leave us stranded.

We have many pairs of various types. Here's the easiest.
