The Golden State (5) Freeway gets snowed over, and everybody has to stop and wait it out, in Castaic. Ah, that brings back memories. But every time I think about sitting roadside for up to 12 hours (before anyone said the simple sentence: "You could take the 14 to the 58...."), I think about people who live with much more snow, much more of the year. It could be worse. Much, much worse. And colder.

Why do these people live in these places?
