Mr. Taylor, who is an avid outdoorsman, told police officers he kept warm by periodically starting his engine and used a few taco sauce packets as food.
He had attempted to walk out but returned to the car as the snow was too deep.

A missing person's report had been put out for Mr. Taylor on Wednesday, which said he was not believed to have a mobile phone on him.
