Reply #131: I imagine that even if there were passers-by...

I imagine that even if there were passers-by on a lonely stretch of road, blizzard conditions could quite easily cause a local white-out preventing our hypothetical passers-by from seeing anything beyond the hood of their car...

However, I simply do not think it's out of the ordinary at all to imagine that no one had driven that road other than the players in the OP due to the weather, the holiday, and the realtively low population density.
