AUSTIN, Texas — As a blanket of snow coated the roads early Monday morning, driving didn't seem to be an option for two Austin nurses. But neither was missing work.
"I bundled up and I put on my boots and I changed my shoes and I already packed a bag thinking I was going to be staying here for a while," said Brooke Wilson, a labor and delivery nurse with St. David's Women's Center of Texas in North Austin. "So, I packed a bag and I headed out and I started walking."
