CAWKER CITY, Kan. (KAKE) -
A northern Kansas woman who went missing after her car got stuck in a weekend blizzard has been found dead.
Authorities at the Mitchell County command center for the search say the body of 37-year-old Tanya Eshbaugh, of Cawker City, was found in a field near Waconda Lake, about three miles from her car. She was on her way to work Sunday morning when she called in to say she wasn't going to make it due to the weather and was turning around to go home.
"It is believed that after getting her vehicle stuck in the ditch due to blizzard conditions that she exited the vehicle...," a flyer from Kansas Missing & Unsolved says.

Very good info. on that very subject.
All batteries lose capacity in cold conditions, and, worse, a cheap charger can badly damage a lithium-ion battery in cold conditions.
5'3", 170 lbs.......you figure it out......
Not everyone is as gifted in survival skills as you..........I'm sure you're the envy of everyone.
I had a Colt Trooper Mark III in .22LR. It had electroless nickel finish. I later read that they were assembled with leftover parts to use up all that was left.
Regardless, it was a very nice revolver. My Nephew has it now.
“Also, in my 20s, the only “maintenance medication” I needed was beer. Not sure if two days supply was adequate, though.”
My 20s are looong passed, my friend. So I’ve decided that a small flask of 12 year old Scotch will have to do.
It may be a survival situation, but that doesn’t mean I have to descend to the level of barbarism.
Best,

Yes. sad.
In a white out flew off the road into deep snow.
Car dropped 2’.
Smart enough to know dig out the tail pipe even at 19.
Tow truck looking for easy work found us.
“how much you got?” was in play.
But I’m sure it was a warm snow. After all the “science is settled”
“No job I have ever had has been worth risking my life for when the weather/road conditions are bad.”
She was headed home instead of going to work. Too bad she started out to begin with.
“I drove my rental car right into a plowed frozen field”
Same thing happened to us in around 1970 in a blizzard. A trucker noticed us and took us in to town. We spent three days sleeping on the hallway floor of a motel in Punxsutawney, PA. We were so young, and very terrifying.
Sad. RIP.
When I was in blizzard country, I carried a snowmobile outfit on the floor of the passenger side (under the heat vents) when bad weather was happening. Kept a bottle of liquid water (hadn’t been stored in a cold car) with me and a few snacks to fuel any efforts that became necessary.
