From the Mythbusters link, above:You can open a window in a submerged car by attempting to break the window using steel-toed boots.
busted
Boots are ineffective.
They, however, were referring to a windshield in a submerged car, which would have a substantial amount of water pressure holding it in place.
I've slid somewhere and been in a car with doors difficult to open because of snow against them, but I usually can roll down a window or force the door because there's still a lot of packing-down room in the snow. These days, I find it's easier to just avoid snow banks. I let the those 4-wheel drive vehicles piloted by over-confident drivers enjoy them.
