2006 Pontiac Grand Prix Base.
Today my car was stuck on an unplowed snowed in road. I had trouble getting the car out, I kept turning the wheel to get out and finally i got out of the mess. I realized as I was driving how hard it was to turn the wheel. I thought it was the snow jammed into the wheel but once I got on the highway, I still had a hard time steering. I am starting to believe my power steering went out. Any thoughts??
thanks

You may have air in the lines. add some ps fluid and turn the wheel back and forth tell it softens. Also there may be a hole in the line. Did it mark its territory with a puddle?

Start by checking your fluid level.
Can you hear the pump whining... any fluid on the ground

I am going to check right now. So far no puddle on the ground. No steering noices at all. It is very hard to turn the wheel.

Is your serpentine belt broken/loose?
Did you check the level of the power streering pump?

How in the heck do you check your power steering?? is it under something?

It's on the back passangere side of the motor underneath the heater core hoses. Bring a flash light to check the level. It's dark back there

Power steering pump was cracked. It was replaced and is now running good.
