I was trying to drive up a snowy hill, but my car stalled. I pressed
hard on the gas, and my car filled with fumes for some reason. Were
the fumes probably just from being in the same position, or could
something else have been going wrong?

Best guess would be that the snow was trapping the exhaust under the
car and it found some other way inside. Might be worth a stop at your
local trusted mechanic just to have them check and make sure there
aren't any leaks in the exhaust.

Was the tailpipe full of packed snow?
Did it start back up?
