On Feb. 24, 81-year-old Jerry Jouret set out on a 3-hour drive from his mountain house in Big Pine, California, to his family home in Gardnerville, Nevada. Jouret was aware that a storm was coming, but “didn’t think it was gonna be as bad as it was”. His car got stuck in the snow after he accidentally turned to a smaller road.

A light quilt and a hotel bath towel were the only things Jouret had to keep himself warm. Luckily, he had some water with him and had bought some bread from a local shop before making his trip. He just ate small bites of the bread to get him through. Jouret conserved (节省) his vehicle’s gas and battery, only turning the car on to warm up from time to time. But in the middle of the third day, his car battery died while he was rolling the electric window back up.

On Feb. 28, Inyo County Search and Rescue (InyoSAR) received a call for a missing person. Due to the severe storm, search missions were delayed. Then, on March 2, a cell phone "ping" identified by a California Highway Patrol (CHP) team helped narrow the search area.

A helicopter pilot spotted something he at first thought was a large rock. A closer look revealed a vehicle — and the pilot spotted an arm waving out of the small opening in the car window. “The CHP team loaded the person onboard and transported him directly to Bishop Airport for transport to medical care. The person was determined to be the subject of the search. The subject was sent to the hospital later that evening,” InyoSAR said.
