Here's what I've got:
"My family and I are going out to dinner. When we get to the restaurant, I step out of the vehicle and into a snowbank. Snow falls into my boot. My foot is freezing as we enter the restaurant. We sit down and I remove my jacket. I feel a rush of relief as my body quickly warms up. The waiter attempts to take our order, but we can barely hear him."
