The Story Behind How The Jeep Really Got Stuck in the Snowbank
How did that Jeep get stuck so high into a snowbank? We now have the answer. It was done on purpose.
It happened Wednesday, February 3rd in Marion Pennsylvania, about 5 and a half hours from central New York, after winter storm Orlena hit the Northeast. Amy Pentz posted the phenomenon on Facebook and it s since gone viral, with many questioning whether or not it s real. It s real, said Pentz. Not sure how.

We know how and why. The Jeep is suppose to be in the snowbank. It s all part of a joke pulled off by Marion Auction in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. They ve actually done it every year after a big snow storm. It s usually accompanied with a Don t Text and Drive sign but an employee tells The Drive, they skipped that part this year. That could be why this is the first time it s gone viral.

This is why we have parking bans.
Talk about a bad day. I really can t fathom how this Jeep ended up in this monster snowbank, but here it is. Just imagine coming out of work and finding your car lodged a story and a half above the ground.
I m not even sure where I d begin if this were my car. I don t care how tough you think New Bedford and Fall River are with their parking bans during snowstorms, it can t stack up to this.
Amy Pentz says she was driving home from work during last week s snowstorm when she couldn t believe her eyes. She says she just had to pull over and take some photos because she knew no one would believe her. Pentz says the picture is 100 percent for real, that it is not Photoshopped or doctored in any way.
