The beloved star of our in-book feature "The Predicament," Lunchbox the Cadaver Sniffing Dog, brings you a round-up of this week's outdoor predicaments, disasters, and near-misses

Lunchbox here: Unfortunately, 2010 started with no shortage of outdoor disasters—holidays off means people have more time to play in the snow, which means more chances for injury.
