Man Survives Two Months in Snow-Covered Car - Slate Magazine

When snowmobilers discovered a car on a deserted road near the north-eastern town of Umea Friday they assumed it was an abandoned vehicle. But when they dug around three feet into the snow they saw 44-year-old Peter Skyllberg lying on the back seat inside a sleeping bag. Skyllberg was so weak he could barely speak but told police he had been in his car without any food since December 19, apparently surviving only by eating snow, reports the Guardian. Photographs from inside the car showing empty food and drink wrappers suggest Skyllberg did have at least some sustenance, notes the BBC.
