walk in the snow

walk in the snow
a) An occasion when a momentous career decision is made, especially a decision to resign or retire.

Mr. Trudeau told reporters yesterday he made the decision to put an end to almost 16 years in office after a long, solitary walk Tuesday night through a blinding Ottawa blizzard. . . . "It was a great walk in the snow."

b) suicide, assisted suicide, or muder by exposure.

"I went for a walk in the snow last night—and Im staying." So said Jean Chretien on January 15th, varying the phrase with which Pierre Trudeau announced his sudden resignation as Canadas prime minister in 1984.
