And I can't find any. I have wide feet and most of what I've tried on in stores are too narrow. I haven't made it to an REI or other outdoor store yet though.
And, I have big calves, so I don't want anything too tall where that is a problem.
Any suggestions? These are for winter wear and snow play.

I'll be watching. I could've written your post. Post-preg, my old boots don't fit.
I recall trying on aerosoles last year at dsw that were a wider foot fit and definitely larger in the calf.

I wear wide shoes and got a pair last year from Lands End that I still love. Unfortunately, they don't appear to have anything just like what I bought, but you might try LE with a free shipping code so you aren't out anything if you return the boots.

I haven't been able to wear any LE shoes, as they're too narrow. Can you wear there shoes? That might give me an idea of whether boots might work.

Here: http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/catalog/index.jsp Check the "stores" tab - they should have something nearish to you, maybe closer to Detroit.
Also, I've found that Merrell's can be wider; while I did have to order a size up to get Keen's to fit this year - so I'd try Merrell's first if you come across a great deal. Sorry I can't recommend a specific model. I have a regular size (B) foot, but have orthotics so often need a wide width.

LLBean has wides in their boots - that's what I am going to buy (when my budget finally allows me to!) - and they have free shipping codes around.

I can sometimes wear their wide shoes. Sometimes they are too narrow or just fit crappy. For reference, I can't buy a regular shoe that runs wide - those are always too narrow for me.
Before Christmas, someone posted deals on the Bargain Board from a plus size women's website. I recall that they sold a lot of wide shoes and boots made for larger calves. I will see if I can dig that website up, because it might have what you need.
ETA: Tried to find the thread and I couldn't. But that might give you a new direction to follow.

and they are worth EVERY penny. I even wore them without socks to run an errand this morning.
