First off, it's NOT 'Snowed In' - Rachel Hawthorne
The beginning is two sisters head home from school on the bus which is a pain/distance from the school originally. It's the holiday time so no school AND it's snowing a blizzard. As they get there, the two talk about how their parents are away. Then the light goes out and two men come to their door. One guy has a messed up leg as it turns out the two were in a car accident. Later on it turns out the two guys didn't know each other, in fact the guy who 'saved' the guy was the guy who ran him off the road.
The younger/happier sister starts crushing on the injured guy while the older sister is tough and 'mature' all about. Listening to the radio turns out also a murderer escaped the jail or a crazy guy escaped some place. I forgot. RANDOMLY it turns out the guy is in the basement but it's kind of seriously random.
Any ideas, I'd love to hear it. I read it in 4th grade so it's not that high level...possibly.
