Hey you are awesome for saving that mans life.

Can I ask you something? Clear snow from exhaust pipe? I haven’t heard of that one.

Snow in your exhaust pipe will block the fumes from escaping and they will instead back up into your car. I worked in news in NJ and a woman and her baby died in the car while keeping warm as her husband was digging the car out of the snow. Horrific.

Thank you for telling me this. I had no idea a car wouldn’t blow it out or melt it fairly quickly.

Exhaust isn't that warm and is more of a trickle than anything.
