    I would be in a bind I can't swim a lick. I guess if a guy was lucky he could make it to the roof and then to top of trailer. Still he is lucky.

    That's how he got out, the water probably would have killed him, it's been temps in the single digits and below zero at night in Eastern Oregon lately hence all the ice in the pic.

    I seen all the ice but all I could think about was the deep water lol. I am sure the water would get you quickly in those temps, some of the broke ice looked several inches thick.

    It was super cold there a week or two ago, my sister lives about 30 miles from where this happened and they saw 32 below zero at the house recently.

    he's an older gentleman too, very lucky to be alive and from the sounds of it he's hardly even hurt.
