There was an event in Ottawa, Canada's capital, where a man got off a bus in
the winter and froze to death trying to cross a vacant block to his home.
There was a snowstorm and he lost his way. (A path in snow is a hard object
about 30 cm wide, step off it and you are floundering in deep snow). An
even worse story is of an old woman who last winter fell on a busy street at
night and froze to death in a snowbank. People passed her for two days
without inspecting the fabric that stuck out of the snow.
