Default Random leak and white smoke

Beas shoveling my car out and drove it to my stall, noticed it was fuming up on the inside and could smell something coming through my vents. I turned off the car and opened the hood to see some white smoke appear. I couldn't really see as it's too dark but I'm guessing this could be a coolant leak? If it's a blow head gasket I'm pretty much screwed.
Any other opinions?

You'll have to find leak, but head gaskets don't leak enough to provide steam typically. More likely a busted hose.

If you overheated badly, you could have damaged the head gasket.

good luck
