Blizzards are sooo.... NOT A DISASTER.
Inconvenient? Sure.
Deadly to the unprepared? Absolutely.
But once the hard work of clearing the shyt out of the way is done, it's basically a harmless (and actually pleasurable - I love me a good "shut in" Blizzard) event.

True -- 'got stuck in the house for over a week in Western NY in Dec. 2002 under 6-ft of snow. As long as the gas appliances worked and the fridge was stocked, it wasn't a big problem. Nowhere near as catastrophic as what those poor folks near the Gulf are going through...

We've always enjoyed a good shut the city down, declare a state of emergency blizzard. It's fun to go cross country skiing up and down the middle of the street. Snow's an inconvenience but managable. In a couple days you're up and running again. And we've dealt with it. Eleven feet on Jan '04 from lake-effect snow.
