So glad you had someone close by to call and help you. On a day like that a call to a tow company can take hours to get responded to because there are so many getting stuck. Daytime snow is tricky, you don't realize how much is falling and you aren't at home to be prepared, and then you have to get home in spite of the snow. I was a rural mail carrier and have gotten caught in that kind of snowfall while delivering. A county snow removal truck once tried to get me out of a ditch, he got stuck and had to call another to get us both out! I'm sure your hundred dollars was a small price for your husband's peace of mind when he couldn't be there.
Have fun with the candies. and watching the snow from the inside!
