Geraldine "Gerry" Palmer, a week shy of 90, at her Durango Colo., home Monday Feb. 11, 2008, holds the ax that she used earlier in the week to break the glass of her sliding door. On Saturday, she went onto her snow-covered patio, but the door locked behind her, forcing her to use the ax to escape the cold and snow.(AP Photo/The Durango Herald,Jerry McBride)
