Thanks Roody. My camera works in a sandwich bag.
The wind was pretty bad, but it was at my back in the deep snow and not into my face until I was on the road. That was a big help.

I was riding thru 6" to 9" of dry fluffy snow. That was a leg burning experience! At one point it got to bad to ride. I found some shelter inside a group of thick cedar trees. I never want ride in that again.
I had the advantage of dressing for the conditions at the house. I also had a bike path and never was far from civilization. I could have locked the bike and walked to a house if needed. The road back is a state road so I knew it would be plowed. Not as much risk as it looks. But twice as much fun. It sounds like you were a lot farther away from any shelter. I can see that's potentially a very big problem. Glad you made it out OK.
