I did a lot of stupid things in my youth. I do remember not being able to make it home (from work) one night and staying at motel. The roads became impassable (even with snow chains on my car), the ICE was not the problem... it was traction.I doubt you would be traveling on snow packed roads in high wind, and subzero temps with a 1/4 tank of gas.
And yes, you are correct I would never leave the house (with a snow storm predicted) with a 1/4 tank of gas.
Perhaps some of the individuals (in the news story) do not have garages in which to park and charge their EV's.
