Geraldine 'Gerry' Palmer, a week shy of 90, at her Durango Colo., home on Monday, Feb. 11, 2008, holds the ax that she used earlier in the week to break the glass of her sliding door. On Saturday, she went onto her snow-covered patio, but the door locked behind her, forcing her to use the ax to escape the cold and snow. (AP Photo/The Durango Herald, Jerry McBride)

I like old people. They have common sense. No wandering off seeking help in this case. Kudos!!

I have family in the Durango area...just wow...amount of snow that has fallen this year (with global warming and all...should've been rain)...

FEET...over a dozen feet total in places - Silverton is really getting socked this winter where homeowners can't shovel snow off some roofs, because the snow is piled too high around the house now!
