For my the snow storm was generated by my bad marriage. When I got out the snow storms became only intermittent. The relief gave me a chance to recover between the storms. This final storm is tough but having recovered by this point I can handle it much better even though it is requiring much if my focus. What a difference in how I feel also.

For me, then there was a sunny enough day, I took advantage if it & escaped to where the emotional blizzard was GONE. That way I had time to focus on cleaning things up rather than shoveling the same old crap that I was dealing with 24/7.

This works when depression is based on situations or environments (SAD).....not so easy when the depression comes from other sources.
