It is actually scary to see how grocery stores are cleaned out. Snow shovels sold out? Do you throw them away every year? WTH?? As if they won’t survive till Tuesday. Did the jabs or living through the lockdown damage their brains?

The ice is the worst thing. Sticks to everything and gets heavy. It can down entire trees and forget driving on it. But you may have firewood forever.
Ice world is beautiful. We had such a storm about 30 years ago. No electric for 2 weeks, which means no water. That storm took out every scrub pine in our forest. My kids thought it was great fun. Melting and straning water over a camp fire for flushing. Collecting water from the local fire department (only street with electric) for washing and drinking.
Kids loved the whole adventure, as did my husband who got to play with his chain saw every day. Me? I discovered you can, indeed, wash your hair and whole body with a couple of gallons of warm water and gained a whole new respect for my great grandmothers who lived like that every day of their lives.
A decade or two later. We lived without electric after a hurricane. Much worse because no way to preserve food and fetching water was a full time job.
Think of the people in the mts. Some with no roof at all. For them, this could be really rough.
