I forgot 19. You have gotten your snowblower stuck , on the roof...

And 20 is my personal one , You can change transmission cooler lines while laying in the snow in -15 deg weather , then fill the transmission with red paste that smells like ATF+4 coming from a bottle that says the same thing ... This has actually been known to happen , like today for example...
