Growing up in Minnesota, we were always prepared to hunker down in a blizzard for a while. But then again, we were always prepared for everything (parents lived through the Great Depression, it changed their souls).

I wonder how many people are trapped with nothing inside their houses/apartments? A lot of younger people probably are as they grew up in mild winters and false senses of security. The middle-aged folks probably remember hugh snowdrifts and so prepared...but I'm just guessing.
