With wintery weather hitting many parts of the country that don't normally have it, the likelihood of coming across someone that needs help (even just a little nudge) has gone up dramatically (at least in my neck of the woods). We all know that jeeps are great for tugging people out of harm's way. I'm curious how many other folks have started pulling stranded motorists out of medians and ditches in the freakish weather that much of the US has had over the past few weeks. Respond with your personal recovery count and I'll add it to this post. Feel free to update as the count goes up

P.S. With respect to Good Samaritan laws, check to ensure that your state/locale has one, don't attempt procedures that you (or they) are not comfortable with or that might risk property or personal damage, and as most first responder procedures will tell you: step 1 should always be making sure the situation is safe for YOU to start helping.
