Another difference is that I planned ahead. If the storm had turned way south and hit my area, I would not have needed to go out or wanted to go out for a very long time. This blizzard was not a surprise. She's a moron for endangering herself and others by taking such a foolhardy risk. Why is she on the road, in the snow, with a warning several days in advance of several feet of snow?

Ditto!
We have tools, chains, lights, blankets, jackets, sterno & stove, food and water in all of our cars.
What kind of idiot wouldn’t?
