Something comforting, or a swift get out.
what are you really asking. People live there every year and survive. It does sound cold though.
You have as much rights to the curb infront of her house as she does of yours that is city property and that also includes upto 25 feet from the end of the sidewalk to the front door depending on the state or province. There is no way for her to call the city and get you towed the worse she can do is get the local enforcement authority to give you a ticket for parking over the hour limit on your city.
Gloves are in no way more sanitary than your hands and they also have a very high risk of cross contamination. Glove first off capture most of the food that an employee is dealing with which leaves a lot of microscopic residue wich can get into other forms of food. For example if you are allergic to tomatoes and ask for no tomatoes on your sandwich if a person is wearing gloves and handling their food then part of the tomato is gonna be on the sandwich same thing applies to all other foods. Your bare hands do not pick up this residue. Also gloves are made out of latex a lot of people in the world are allergic to latex. Basically what I am trying to get at is that there is no law about gloves because every educated person knows that gloves are much less safe that your bare hands.
and good thoughts for their safety and their health. although it is scary, i just know they will be alright and you have to keep up the faith.
