Five hours later, players tweeted that they were still stuck:

But players tried to make the most of the situation:

Sleepover with the team on a bus in a blizzard!!! #StrandedInTheSnow

There was even a hashtag: #NUWBBstrandedonabus. And just for fun, players turned to selfies:

Twenty hours into being stranded in the snowstorm, one player reached out to fellow baller LeBron James for help. No word on whether he responded:

@KingJames plz help us get this trending #NUWBBstrandedonbus #NUWBBstrandedonbus we've been stuck on the bus 4 20hrs pic.twitter.com/tZ1S73folB

After nearly an entire day of being stranded, snacks showed up as players grew weary:

Definitely a test of our mental toughness as a team #NUWBBstrandedonbus approaching the #22ndhour

A plow arrives! Players tweeted that they were relieved and excited to see their ordeal moving towards and end:
