Blizzards, Blocked Curb Cuts, and Caramel Rolls: My Winter Survival Guide

Winter in North Dakota isn't just cold. It's 30 below, blizzards every weekend, and windows buried under snow kind of cold. In this episode, I'm getting real about what winter actually looks like when you navigate the world in a power wheelchair. Blocked curb cuts, caregiver worries, a patio door frozen completely shut, and a cat who blames me personally for all of it. I'm sharing what's gotten me through the hard seasons, what I learned from a particularly brutal blizzard year, and why making caramel rolls for my neighbors might be one of the best coping strategies I've accidentally stumbled onto. No perfect solutions here. Just honest conversation about survival, slowing down, and finding something warm to hold onto when you're stuck inside.Got your own winter survival story?
