I even drove myself to the clinic 45 minutes away with two broken legs after crawling 1/4 mile to get to the car. Cell phone didn't get reception where I was so that was the only way to get help.
WHOLLY CRAP!! I can't imagine!
Now I'm nervous...
It's snowing like crazy outside, I have to drive that bendy road to work in the morning....
Oh, well...Ive done it many times before.
If its any consolation I broke my legs while at the lake after a morning of trout fishing not in the snow. The lake is surrounded by large boulders and as I was walking back towards the car I stepped on a very large boulder and the darn thing flipped with me on it. My tackle box saved me from getting a head injury.
Just be cautious in the snow, drive slow. It also helps to know your car's recommended tire pressure and keep the tires properly inflated. You can usually find a sticker in either th glove box or door jam that tells the specific tire pressure for your car. I now carry a snow shovel and ice melt in the car during winter just in case of getting stuck.
