Clifton Vial, 52, of Nome said he decided to drive along a northbound road to see how far it would take him Monday night and he found himself stuck in a snowdrift more than 40 miles out of town with only tennis shoes, jeans and a $30 Sears jacket to keep himself warm, the Anchorage (Alaska) Daily News reported Monday. Advertisement Vial said he periodically turned the truck on for heat and radio, but mostly stayed warm using a fleece sleeping bag liner and bath towels wrapped around his feet and legs. He said he had nothing to eat but a few cans of Coors Light, which he consumed by removing the tops and digging the contents out with a knife. Rescuers finally arrived Thursday with a Snickers bar and an orange soda for Vial, who was not noticed missing until he failed to show up for work Tuesday. He said his wife and daughter had been out of town. Advertisement Vial said he planned to return to work Monday. Read More Man survives burial under 6 feet of snow Spring snowstorm hits Scotland
