It was interesting hereabouts. We had a 2-day ice storm followed by a lull for one day and then a 2-day blizzard.
We lost power for 48 hours at our place, the average was 72, some people are just now getting it back (6 days). It's a small town with neighbors that will help each other, and the Red Cross and similar groups set up "warming shelters" for those who just had no place to go, so there were thankfully no deaths.
We kept warm at home with a fire in the fireplace and a propane camping stove to heat food and drinks. We were fine, but I give myself only a "C+" for preparedness, because I had barely enough fire wood for 2-3 days and I had failed to follow through on plans to buy a generator that would have allowed the heating system circulating pump and burner to keep working. Plus, I realize I have yet to figure out a way to by-pass the "smart" feature on my gas stove that won't allow any gas to the burners when there's no power. We were fine in the food and water department, emergency lighting was well-covered, and we had plenty of warm clothes and blankets. Still, I hope to improve on that C+.
