If I were told blizzard conditions were expected, I WOULD make sure we had the essentials and would go out and stock up and hunker down.

As would most people... thereby causing a rush on the stores and a shortage of goods. Might I suggest storing essentials BEFORE the weather bureau creates a panic. Even a two week supply costs little and requires a minimum of storage space. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark! (And yes, before folks check my "about" page, I am a Mormon.)

You haven’t seen my posting history I take it.

By essentials, I mean milk and eggs and gas, period.
