"...on snowmobiles..."

So the drivers could leave, but the cars would remain stranded.

Are there that many snow mobiles in VA?

:-D Great question.

Probably? https://www.yellowpages.com/search?search_terms=snowmobile+r...

> 1.3 million registered snowmobiles in the US [0]

For fun, let's just say those are evenly distributed amongst the states and there are 26,000 snowmobiles available in Virginia at DoorDash's disposal. I'd wager snowmobiles wouldn't be the limiting factor in this operation.

There are probably not very many snowmobiles in Florida.

That is a good point that I had anticipated, but severely under appreciated.

I had presumed a somewhat more normal distribution of snowmobiles.

I'm adjusting my mental model to the reality that Virginia likely has less than 1000 registered snowmobiles.

something tells me Florida Man likes snowmobiling across the swamp a la https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NySgXKgfICM

This is a remarkable video (there's a helicopter and a snowmobile) but is that really in Florida?

That's a Fermi question if I've ever heard one.
