Use shank's mare like our forefathers had to do, sweetheart.
Being a nurse your legs are probably strong as those of Charles Atlas.
Too bad you don't have his brains and determination.
You can treat your own frostbite when you get home.

Notice they don’t say what her destination was. Was it her job, was it her home, or was it the mall?
I was watching a history show about the great Dust Bowl on PBS. Well done, survivors stories, the kids dieing from “dust pnemonia, etc.”.
Anyway, this one guys tells the story of him and a cousin with his dad at their house. A huge dust storm comes in, and his cousin (a girl of 10 years or so) runs to her house 5 blocks away.
By the time the dad notices she is gone the storm is upon them. So he “army crawls” on his belly (to try to stay in the little bit cleaner air to the ground) to the cousin’s house to make sure that she made it. She did.
Then, so his son - alone at home - wouldn’t be worried, he turned around and army crawled the five blocks home!
However - a snowstorm with hard winds and white-out conditions is no place to be. There is a reason why folks in the Midwest had ropes between the house and the outhouse.
