So she was able to get from her home on an unplowed street--immediately after a 3 day blizzard--to the airport that got 18&quot; of snow <i>without</i> having to dig her car out from under two feet of snow and go out driving in it.  It only took one hour and cost $640.<p>Wow!  What a deal!<p>I&#x27;m not sure if she called any traditional cab companies to try to get a ride to the airport, but I can tell you their response.  &quot;We can&#x27;t get any cars out to you, ma&#x27;am, due to the blizzard.&quot;  Without someone waving that fat stack of cash around at the curb, the Uber driver would have taken a snow day and stayed in bed, too.
