Hours into the rescue mission, paramedic Jessica Farmer realized her toes were completely numb.It was a late afternoon in early March, and Farmer and her partner found themselves standing in thigh-deep snow above a steep canyon in the Sierra foothills outside of Grass Valley.The pair were still dressed in their standard uniforms, without snow pants or heavy socks, heading slowly toward a remote cabin a half mile away, where a man had called hours earlier complaining of severe chest pain.
