“They need a truck with a snowplow “
You are clearly not from the South.
How about an 18 wheeler (preferably hauling diesel, although I’d drop the trailer back at the prison) with a big “v” Cowcatcher built on the front to “ice break” through zombies. Be easy to weld on.
Maybe these idiots can’t drive a standard transmission.
That's more like it. Better than that Yugo or whatever they drive now.
And no, I am not from the south. Where I'm from this apocalypse would go on until winter, when the zombies would freeze solid. Then the tide would be turned, as humans armed with an axe, cross country skis, and a thermos of hot chocolate would dispatch the zombiecicles at their leisure. The TV series would end at their Christmas special.
