A Slovak man trapped in his car under an avalanche freed himself by drinking beer and urinating on the snow to melt it.
Rescue teams found a drunken Richard Kral staggering on a mountain path four days after his Audi was buried, Ananova.com reports.
Unable to dig himself out, he drank one of 60 half-litre bottles of beer in the car and realised he could melt the snow with urine - then drank the rest.
"It was hard and now my kidneys and liver hurt. But I'm glad the beer I took on holiday turned out to be useful and I managed to get out of there," he said.

okay, so if it ever snows in Perth I need to make sure I have a plenty of beer in the car, is that the message. Of course the idea of snow in Perth is just silly anyway!!!!!
Some people say I have a drinking Problem....
I drink, I get drunk, I fall over....
What's the problem?

But then you have to keep it cold,
Really though, it doesn't snow in Perth?
There are generations of folks that heve never written their name in the snow? Thats just not right, great sport that.

sorry Dogger, no snow in Perth, it has been known to snow in the south west of WA, but only on very rare occasions and it doesn't last, just melts straight away!
I have seen snow, in NZ and in UK as well as in Canberra, but not here in the suny west!!
Maybe you could send some over, see if Fedex really can deliver!

Snow
Dogger,
Hard as this may be to believe, I have only seen snow a couple of times in my life. Once was in Europe as a baby, which I was too young to remember, and the other time was as a child in the US.
In Adelaide, South Australia, where I'm from, it never snows. We do have ski fields about four hours drive from where I live now in Melbourne, but I've never been.
The ski season is only six weeks or so long. In summer it's bloody hot up there (although today was the coldest and wettest February day on record. It only got to 12.9C, which is winter weather).
Cheers,
Oliver
