I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I can't seem to easily find this here -

I know modern cars aren't as easy for people to ctb with carbon monoxide anymore, but I've gotten several warnings recently in local news about cars' exhaust pipes being blocked by snow and people inside suffocating from carbon monoxide poisoning. Is this a solid possible method? I live in an area where it's been snowing a lot lately and I wonder if I could get away with this with family thinking it was a freak accident. If not, whatever! Just thought I'd ask:)

Imo it's an unreliable method. Those are accidents and the people didn't die within minutes. CO kills slowly over many hours if the concentration isn't high.

It's better to consider charcoal.

What about detergent suicide, is it reliable?

This involves snow deep enough to prevent the exhaust from escaping the body. It builds up under the body and gets sucked into the fresh air intake. It takes longer these days but it will still get you.
I lost a coworker this way because they parked a big 1970's car in long grass with a gentle tail wind. They left it running with the air conditioning on. The next day they found dead people in a car.
