Why I love being a writer

[rachelmanija]

I just emailed a friend this question in complete seriousness:

How many miles do you think is vaguely plausible for people to think they can walk in a blizzard if they have supernatural resiliency and can also turn into snow leopards?

There was a blizzard here a couple of hours ago (and may still be; I don't expect good information on when it ended while the blizzard warning is still up), and I've seen buses, snowplows, and even someone on foot when I looked out the window. So part of the answer to this question may be "how bad a blizzard?" and "how much do the characters know about blizzards and the way that it can go from visibility of a couple of hundred meters, to "can't see the tree until you bump into it."
